What's so wrong in letting the two coexist for some time so people could
migrate smoothly? Of course we don't want any duplicate drivers... in the
perfect world. But we are not in the perfect world (look, there is a bunch
of OHCI drivers which are almost the same and they are in the tree for
years) and the drivers are rather different. Of course, we should encourage
people to switch to the new code, probably by marking the old one
deprecated and scheduled for removal.

BTW, anybody here use the current musb code? In my experience it never
worked as expected... Probably we can drop it right away without much
pain...

Regards, Ilya.
