It seems like they are using the Cypress FX2 controller
(CY7C68013). I've used it before on USB device projects. If I remember
correctly it has an 8052 core, a USB2 controller and some low-speed
I/O blocks. Couldn't locate the slide deck about a standalone device
unfortunately.

Great. Just to make sure I've understood: I'll send v3 with _both_
netdev and linux-usb in "To:"?
