If you want a stub usb2_serial module that loads all serial drivers, that migh be useful, but we do not have an (e.g.) if_ethernet module for a reason. The individual drivers MUST continue to exist and be independently configurable so embedded systems can choose what they need and exclude what they don't. -- Brooks
