I'm a bit confused by this statement.  What is working with 2.6.34?
Your host controller?  USB device?  Your USB device driver?

What do you want to port to 2.6.35?  Do you have some driver that you
have developed under 2.6.34?  If you are planning on getting your driver
into the mainline kernel, you need to be developing against Greg KH's
usb-next branch instead of a year-old kernel.  You can use git to clone
Greg's tree like so:

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb-2.6.git

Then you can apply your patches on top of the usb-next branch.

Are you also new to git (the revision control system that the kernel
developers use)?  If so, I suggest you read up on some documentation for
git, like this webpage:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/everyday.html

There's also a good O'Reilly book on Git.

Hope this helps!
