Speaking of which... would it not be a good idea, to get these comitted to the 2.6 tree... at some stage ... at least to stop people periodically posting to this list... saying "Dear all have spent 2 months, writing code for m8xx_hci drivers", when it's a needless replication of effort ? > However I use them connected to a specific peripheral > so I don't know how well they fare when used as a PC > style USB host controller. Also, one easy way to find out, how well or badly said code performs, in hetrogenous environments, is to... suck it and see. As I was attempting to intimate above, I'm sure there'd be a legion of eager people to debug, modify and recode such drivers, if there lived in an obvious place... in the 2.6 tree.
