Description
Hi,
Since there is a --gpus option in docker run command, why not add a --usb ?
Most of applications take care of VID & PID only. But once a USB device is plugged-in agian, the device_number changed or
bus_number also changed in /dev/bus/usb. So --device /dev/bus/usb/<bus_number>/<device_number> is generic but not practical for USB devices.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Docker CLI entry point for the run command and comparing it with the existing --gpus option. Define how --usb [bus|vid|pid] should resolve devices when bus or device numbers change, then add coverage for the requested selection behavior and verify it through docker run.
