USB: ftdi-elan: client driver for ELAN Uxxx adapters
This "ftdi-elan" module is one half of the "driver" for ELAN's Uxxx series adapters which are USB to PCMCIA CardBus adapters. Currently only the U132 adapter is available and it's module is called "u132-hcd". When the USB hot plug subsystem detects a Uxxx series adapter it should load this module. Upon a successful device probe() the jtag device file interface is created and the status workqueue started up. The jtag device file interface exists for the purpose of updating the firmware in the Uxxx series adapter, but as yet it had never been used. The status workqueue initializes the Uxxx and then sits there polling the Uxxx until a supported PCMCIA CardBus device is detected it will start the command and respond workqueues and then load the module that handles the device. This will initially be only the u132-hcd module. The status workqueue then just polls the Uxxx looking for card ejects. The command and respond workqueues implement a command sequencer for communicating with the firmware on the other side of the FTDI chip in the Uxxx. This "ftdi-elan" module exports some functions to interface with the sequencer. Note that this module is a USB client driver. Note that the "u132-hcd" module is a (cut-down OHCI) host controller. Thus we have a topology with the parent of a host controller being a USB client! This really stresses the USB subsystem semaphore/mutex handling in the module removal.

+ ELAN's Uxxx series of adapters are USB to PCMCIA CardBus adapters.
+ Currently only the U132 adapter is available.
+
+ The U132 is specifically designed for CardBus PC cards that contain
+ an OHCI host controller. Typical PC cards are the Orange Mobile 3G
+ Option GlobeTrotter Fusion card. The U132 adapter will *NOT* work
+ with PC cards that do not contain an OHCI controller. To use a U132
+ adapter you will need this "ftdi-elan" module as well as the "u132-hcd"
+ module which is a USB host controller driver that talks to the OHCI
+ controller within CardBus card that are inserted in the U132 adapter.
+
+ This driver has been tested with a CardBus OHCI USB adapter, and
+ worked with a USB PEN Drive inserted into the first USB port of
+ the PCCARD. A rather pointless thing to do, but useful for testing.
+
+ See also the USB_U132_HCD entry "Elan U132 Adapter Host Controller"
+
+ It is safe to say M here.
