I`m working to get permission for that.

Quick question: Why my usb driver doesn't unload after I disconnected it ?

This driver is meant to load a new firmware into the board only. And 
after the bootloader finished the download the board with show it self 
with a different vendor and product id.

All the firmware download in done in probe, so there is no need for this 
driver after that. Can my driver unload it self ?
