As I understand it the isp1362 is just a isp116x core + one of Philips
USB device controllers on the same chip. Certainly the HCD end of the
isp1362 is largely identical to a isp116x.

Yep, I'm working on integrating it for the VIPER but it'll be a while
since there is no DMA available and the OHCI driver seems to depend on
it.

I think working off/with the OHCI code is a great idea -- the hc_* stuff
never really had much momentum behind it, which lead to a lot of
fragmented drivers for different products that only work with particular
subsets of devices as companies (us included) solved their immediate
problems etc.
