How is the driver development going ? You're not using the sourceforge CVS/SVN 
repository, is there another one somewhere (maybe a git tree) ? Are you 
actively working on performance issues, or is the development currently 
stalled ? What are the major performance issues ? I noticed that the driver 
uses the MPC82xx packet level interface. Why don't you use the transaction 
level interface ?

That might explain why some devices don't even respond to the first request. I 
noticed that, on my EP8248 board, the controller only sends 990 SOF packets 
per second (or rather 990 SOF interrupts are generated). I might have a time 
base problem somewhere, as I computed the number of interrupts per second 
with a simple

cat /proc/driver/m8xxhci_privateh > sof.1 && sleep 300 && 
cat /proc/driver/m8xxhci_privateh > sof.2

Do you have the same problem ? I'll see if I can get my hands on a USB 
protocol analyzer.
