fair enough. Though that's wrong too and should be changed. The whole
idea of allowing multiple UDCs on the same kernel image is mostly to aid
development. Specially on pre-silicon phase. We could have a bunch of
PCIe FPGA boards and instantiate a different controller on each one and
have the same kernel work with them all.
