Define "current working version" of something which does not even identify itself. I have _zero_ idea. I don't even know if this actually _is_ Lothar's code or not because, as I say, it claims to be written by someone who definitely did not write it. File comments are important, and we as a whole community should be jumping on people who do not correctly modify these as soon as they send a driver for review. It is simply not acceptable to claim that someone else owns the work when they've never seen it. > In any case, there are other OHCI chip support patches > ahead of that in the queue, like the pxa27x support and > the big-endian OHCI patch (for some PPCs).

Well, I have a client which needs a detailed report on it by tomorrow at the latest, and really needs it working yesterday on their platform. I guess I won't be doing any real ARM, serial or PCMCIA work for quite some time to come (== no patches merged, no bug investigations etc), but instead having to learn about the USB subsystem instead. Doesn't seem a really efficient use of my time... and I don't want to end up maintaining yet another driver for a subsystem I don't particularly want to learn about.
