Yes, I ought to have followed up more. But this was at a time when
we were promised a competing implementation from Nokia would be
merged that would get mode1 working for all use cases. A patch
series was posted to the mailing lists around Dec 2009 with
promises off-list to repost with comments addressed - that
has never happened so far.


But you can't just change authorship when the entire functional code
is the same. (It doesn't matter much to me - I'm not as active on
MUSB as I used to be; it's just the principle of the thing).

You've already re-ignited this discussion. I haven't tested the patch
with the current kernel (and will do so soon), but if it does still
work and there are no objections, it ought to be merged.
