If you're willing to do that work with the existing driver, more power to you! One issue with it is its "old school" use of "usb_bus" instead of "usb_hcd" ... which means that it's going to have trouble with some of the trickier USB device handling requirements, and bitrot. Though if you're looking for Yet Another Challenge, merging those two models -- bus/hcd -- needs to happen... ;) I had some misgivings about teaching the OHCI code to act that way, but haven't had a chance to look at the code in any detail. I was pleased to have seen two reports of success using it (you did try the "current working version" yes?), given the otherwise unusable state of the current SL811 code. In any case, there are other OHCI chip support patches ahead of that in the queue, like the pxa27x support and the big-endian OHCI patch (for some PPCs). That SL811 OHCI-emulation couldn't merge for some time; I think Lothar agreed it needed cleanup.
