not now, sorry.

But seeing the patch that you attach, let me kindly comment once
again (i have already told you multiple time) that this approach
of ignoring compatibility with existing code (usb stack/api/emulation layer,
linux device drivers) and not commenting code at all is really a
showstopper for getting your code tested and/or accepted.

E.g. see usb_compat_linux.c in the url above - basically the only
comment is the copyright - way too little for anyone to understand
what is done there.

usb_compat_linux.h is just a copy of stuff in the existing linux
usb emulation, _but_ without any comments at all (and there was a
lot of them in the existing code).

Undocumented code is almost useless for us, and nobody has the
time to reverse engineer your code and document its architecture.
