FWIW, there is an USB block storage driver [1] that uses the Usb raw
session and can be used instead of the in-built storage driver of the
usb_drv. A custom runtime/management component could monitor the
usb_drv device report and spawn the whole stack if it detects a USB
storage device. The usb_drv's device report does not contain the device
class so far though but adding that to the report is easy.
