Hmmm.  I've never heard of an MSI implementation of either of those, 
although it may be possible for OHCI.  UHCI was used only by Intel and 
one or two others; as far as I know none of them are producing those 
controllers any more.  Nowadays when people want to support USB-1.1 
devices but not USB-3, they use an EHCI controller together with a 
"rate-matching" hub, which avoids the need for any UHCI or OHCI 
controller.

I was wondering more about dwc2 or other non-EHCI USB-2 controller 
drivers.
