The patch I released a couple of weeks ago fixes almost all of the known
issues with my UHCI driver and I've fixed the rest (but one bug) since
then.
The problem I'm seeing is getting the necessary patches applied. The
patches are quite large.
I really want to get the PCI DMA patches integrated, but it's pretty
large for either driver and is necessary for more and more systems now.
I'm not sure if Linus would accept such a large change at this point in
the 2.4 development cycle.
