With that being said, is USB subsystem tree > (drivers/usb within usb.git repo) correct one? Please, advise. If this is a USB host driver, then yes, drivers/usb/host/ would be the correct location for this. Note, at first glance, there is a bunch of work to do on this to get it into "real" mergable shape. Be sure to at the very least get it 'checkpatch.pl clean' before submitting it, that will help out a lot, if it is not already done. thanks, greg k-h
