Sweet. Neat to see how code can be used in practice,
when I haven't the faintest idea how it should be used
when reading it.

My only concern, and I hope it's not, 'cuz I can't read
code worth beans, is the time when the device gets the
new firmware, disconnects, and reconnects, that nothing
untoward should happen in this time. But then, I'm only
eyeballing what happens during asynchronous `insmod'
with non-S2API. Gosh -- what if mode=3 for which my
device has no firmware is selected, and the device
reappears as a generic USB device?
Probably I need not worry.
Carry On Coding.
