Well I have a couple systems I can write data from here, a little app to
send data really isn't that hard to come up with.

Actually it's more to do with the fact that the patches to get USB working
(along with On The Go support) in the LTIB are quite intrusive, and written
for 2.6.24 - since then the USB cores seem to have been reshuffled so it
is far from a clean patch.

Someday I will get bored and port it to 2.6.28 :)
