I haven't looked at the 2.5 SA usb support, but my gut feel is that we can do something similar to generalize the non-pci ohci support. I know that internally we used a similar approach for the 2.4 tree, so I'm guessing the SA and MIPS support is very similar, with some low-level hardware initialization differences. There's other issues with 2.5 MIPS so I haven't gotten as far as USB yet. > Also, which OHCI did you test with?

AMD/Alchemy's Au1x SOCs which all have the same ohci controller. If you would like to see the patch reworked in a certain way before you can accept it, let me know and I'll try to allocate time to it. I've had the patch in my directory on linux-mips.org for a while and I keep having to update it with different kernel releases, so it would be nice if we can merge-in the code at some point.
