Yes. I have sent patches to Linus several times, the latest one today.
So far he has been dropping my patches on the floor.

So far our 2.5 tree doesn't have a USB driver because I
would like to wait until the USB framework is less volatile.
In my mind we will port the USB driver somewhere around
2.6.0.

Speaking of older kernels, any chances for a 2.5 update? I know the
CRIS USB host controller driver has fallen pretty out of date with the
rest of the USB core, and would hope to see that sync up sometime.

Heh, like that will ever happen... :)

But any api changes that are made to USB are also made to all in-kernel
drivers. I've been skipping the CRIS USB driver since way back in early
2.5 you told me too.

Glad to hear it.
