USB devices (with more than one function in a given configuration),
and also multi-configuration devices (also more than one function,
but not necessarily sharing a given configuration).
There is however an optional framework which makes it easier to
reuse and combine functions.
</p><p>Devices using this framework provide a <span class="emphasis"><em>struct
usb_composite_driver</em></span>, which in turn provides one or
more <span class="emphasis"><em>struct usb_configuration</em></span> instances.
Each such configuration includes at least one
<span class="emphasis"><em>struct usb_function</em></span>, which packages a user
visible role such as "network link" or "mass storage device".
Management functions may also exist, such as "Device Firmware
Upgrade".
