Thanks for the help and advice - here's the answer from the developer:

"I haven't tried doing this recently. I made a couple of attempts to
shoehorn the driver into the kernel build system, but it ended up being
a rathole I didn't want to go down until I've cleaned up the driver
itself. Integrating the qc-usb driver into the kernel is definitely on
the TODO list, just not right now. Sorry."

This has all been very helpful. If it is indeed a problem in the hppa-linux 
kernel, I'll keep a watchful eye out for fixes. If there's anything a kernel 
layman like me can do, please let me know.

Thanks,
