Don't even try, I would say. If possible at all it will give you no benefits at all. Only issues.
 
I solve my problem with device detection.
I try to unload 2 mods:
Option and usbserial
After this my usb device is detected and not busy state.
PS. I am not faced with any additional issues after remove that modules.
Thanks for your reply !

Please close this topic.

Some people have been killing/unloading unnecessary daemons and kernel drivers on start-up.

For example, I personally don't run USB printers nor USB modems (i.e. attaching Huawei dongles, android phones etc to the router's usb port). So people could have the following lines in e.g. /jffs/scripts/services-start:

Code:
for M in qmi_wwan cdc_mbim asix cdc_wdm cdc_ncm usblp rndis_host cdc_ether usbnet
do
    rmmod $M
done

It unloads junk which isn't needed by some users. Save precious kernel space memory.

Why not?

I saved about 5 Mb not a big difference since i have 250mb in total , can be handy if you need more ram free later
