Not this particular one as I do not have any legal group :) I started
this cleanup on my own, but it turned out there will be much more work
needed to make USB on Octeon reliable. So after asking my contact person
at Racom, copyright will be assigned to them. Note that it is not official
statement yet, but as Thinh is on holidays anyway, we have quite some
time to sort this out. I'll either confirm or send v5 - v4 is is on the
way with Thinh's comments addressed, so I'm lookign forward for feedback.
