Personally I wouldn't look to the linux kernel as guidance for
correct behaviour.  Especially when there's a published specification
available.

Every usb device has at least one configuration descriptor.  The usb
spec allows for more than one, with a well-defined method for choosing
between them (not supported by plan 9 usb infrastructure).  In
practice though, it seems common for devices to ignore this and use some
bizarre proprietary and undocumented way to switch configurations instead.
Hence the need for abominations like the linux usb_modeswitch utility.
