Don't believe Philips when they "claim" such things.  What they
mean is that the register set and state machine is similar.  What
the DO NOT mean is that the tricky stuff -- DMA descriptors in
the schedule, buffer access -- is even vaguely similar to Real OHCI.

Same thing.  If you ever see a document mentioning a "Philips Transfer
Descriptor", this means that it's neither OHCI, nor EHCI, but some
kind of mutant.

Since they are aggressively nonconformant with OHCI and EHCI ... they
need entirely different drivers.

Write  ** NEW ** driver that understands all the funky rules applicable
only to "Philips Transfer Descriptors".

You could contact TI for information about the "TUSB 6010".
The driver for that is working on 2.6.current, although it
still needs work.  You'd want a rev3 chip.
