Right now, when a USB device is deauthorized (by writing 0 to the
"authorized" field in sysfs) and then reauthorized (by writing a 1) it
loses any configuration it might have had. This is because
usb_deauthorize_device() calls:
  usb_set_configuration(usb_dev, -1);
...and then usb_authorize_device() calls:
  usb_choose_configuration(udev);
...to choose the "best" configuration.

This generally works OK and it looks like the above design was chosen
on purpose. In commit 93993a0a3e52 ("usb: introduce
usb_authorize/deauthorize()") we can see some discussion about keeping
the old config but it was decided not to bother since we can't save it
for wireless USB anyway. It can be noted that as of commit
1e4c574225cc ("USB: Remove remnants of Wireless USB and UWB") wireless
USB is removed anyway, so there's really not a good reason not to keep
the old config.

Unfortunately, throwing away the old config breaks when something has
decided to choose a config other than the normal "best" config.
Specifically, it can be noted that as of commit ec51fbd1b8a2 ("r8152:
add USB device driver for config selection") that the r8152 driver
subclasses the generic USB driver and selects a config other than the
one that would have been selected by usb_choose_configuration(). This
logic isn't re-run after a deauthorize + authorize and results in the
r8152 driver not being re-bound.

Let's change things to save the old config when we deauthorize and
then restore it when we re-authorize. We'll disable this logic for
wireless USB where we re-fetch the descriptor after authorization.

Although this seems to work for me and doesn't seem too terrible, I
could certainly imagine that USB folks might want something different
in terms of style or general approach. If there's some other way we
should be tackling this problem then please yell. I guess worst case
we could also revert the r8152 changes to subclass the generic USB
driver until this problem is solved, though that doesn't seem
wonderful.

Yes, this is a nice solution. Posted.
