I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm almost lost in your statements to
remain the Service_ID in the feature directory.
There has been several discussions about the service discovery, and
one of the topic was that listing Service_ID in the configuration
ROM restricts the advertised services to very permanent ones because
of the nature of configuration ROM.
Is it enough functionality of the service discovery to advertise
services only when a device is plugged in? (Otherwise, issues bus
reset?)
Is there any idea on the requirement for per service based discovery?
