You should not need any vendor-specific code.  All xHCI host controllers
are supposed to conform with the xHCI specification, and the Linux xHCI
driver is written to that spec.  So the code should work on any 0.96
xHCI host controllers.  (Support for hosts that conform to the 1.0 xHCI
specification is not in Linux yet, but AFAIK there are no 1.0 xHCI host
controllers on the market.)

I know that uPD720200-based hosts work, and I suspect that
TUSB7340-based hosts also work, although I haven't had a chance to test
them.  Please let me know if you run into problems.
