Minor clarifications. The musb_hdrc (*) driver is *currently* used on ARM,
specifically a bunch of TI chips (**), but it's an IP core which has been
licensed by various other vendors. That is: it's not ARM-specific.
We already know about work adding Blackfin 5xx support, which I suspect
will appear in the 2.6.28 timeframe, and I've also had queries from folk
using this IP on some PowerPC systems too.

(*) Mentor USB Highspeed Dual Role Controller (MUSB HDRC),
from Mentor Graphics. "USB On-The-Go" (OTG) support.
(**) DaVinci, OMAP2, OMAP3 (see beaglebord.org!), and the
discrete chip used in Nokia 8x0 Linux tablets.
