>> 1. Rename usb-ohci to usb-ohci-old
Keeping the old-style drivers would defeat the purposes
of having new-style ones, though.
>> 2. Rename ohci-hcd to usb-ohci
But during the transition period when both exist, what then?
And later when someone says "I'm using the usb-ohci driver" (or
since ostensibly this thread is about UHCI, "usb-uhci") just what
code would they talking about?
> hcd stands for Host Controller Device.
Actually "Host Controller Driver", for what it's worth.
One of the changes in 2.5 is to shrink the amount of HCD
code by moving duplicated (or worse, partially-duplicated)
code into a newish HCD-only part of the usbcore code. The
"-hcd" suffix flags drivers that have taken significant
steps down that {bug,size}-reduction path.
