[BK PATCH] USB update for 2.4.21

[Greg KH <greg@kroah.com>]

Hi,

Here are a number of USB bugfixes and updates against 2.4.21.  This
includes all of the pending USB patches that I had been holding during
the 2.4.21-rc timeframe.  They include 2 new USB drivers, USB 2.0
controller fixes, lots of usb-storage device additions, and other fixes
and tweaks.

Please pull from:  bk://kernel.bkbits.net/gregkh/linux/marcelo-2.4

The individual patches will be sent in follow up messages to this email
to you and the linux-usb-devel mailing list.

thanks,

greg k-h
