Minor complaint about this patch and several others: The opposite of
"host" isn't "client".  In this context it should be "device" or
"peripheral" or "slave".  (In a virtualization context, it would be
"guest".)

Looking at this the other way around, the opposite of "client" is 
"server", not "host".

It would be nice if all the patch descriptions were updated 
appropriately.
