MPC8360E USB Host Controller Driver

Hi all,

i have a MPC8347E running with the Freescale E(F)HCI driver and Kernel 2.6.17 (Freescale LTIB).

Because of this mail, i checked, if there are any periodical interrupts, without real USB payload.

The result is: NO

If i attach a USB-mouse, i get 5 interrupts.
If i remove it again, 1 additional.

Nothing else, silence !

USB works well with USB 1.1 and 2.0 devices 
(This was not the case with earlier Kernels, e.g. 2.6.13, because for the switching between 1.1 and 2.0 you need a transaction translator driver).

I heard that on the PQII (82xx) devices the FHCI required
intervention from the core, even when there was zero traffic
on the USB.  I think this was because the core had to
continuously service a 1ms interrupt.  This generates significant
extra loading, making it worth considering using a cheap EHCI chip
instead....

Does anyone know if this is still the case with the PQII Pro (83xx)?
