This can be a problem when two drivers have the same (wrong) name: kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver usb_serial_simple kernel: usbserial: USB Serial support registered for stringify(vendor) kernel Error: Driver 'stringify(vendor)' is already registered, aborting... kernel: usbserial: problem -16 when registering driver stringify(vendor) kernel: usbserial: USB Serial deregistering driver stringify(vendor) kernel: usbcore: deregistering interface driver usb_serial_simple Before the fix: $ strings drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial-simple.o usb_serial_simple stringify(vendor) After the fix: $ strings drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial-simple.o usb_serial_simple funsoft flashloader vivopay moto_modem hp4x suunto siemens_mpi This patch makes usb-serial-simple use the correct stringify operator.
