You don't like it and it's completely crappy. BK does renumbering of
ChangeSets itselves. So everybody has different numbers for changesets.
The fix changeset was made using clean clone of BK repository of linux 2.5
kernel tree and one "temporary" clone of first BK repository.

Are you willing to do 'bk pull' from my BK tree to avoid such problems?
I have already a repository on bkbits.net.

Well, 2.5 is not only kernel version we are supporting. Yes, I know it's
bad to show "old compatibility" code with the actual one. The readability
is a bit worse, but USB was changed alot in 2.5 and it's not quite easy to
separate all things. If you have a better idea to hide compatibility code
for 2.4 kernels, I'm ready to repair all things.

What block do you want to spinlock? It's an initialization phase - other
driver parts are not active, so spinlock is a dead code. I think that
original author wanted to prevent generating of interrupts for given line
at all. Anyway, you're right (I also stated it in my comment) that the
interrupt line should be free. I was working on all changes in hurry.
Hopefully, here is the correct patch:

I hope that situation is not as bad as it seems in your eyes. Sure, we
have minor problems, because tracking of all kernel changes is very time
consuming (and we definitely want a time for our development), but I hope
that we'll solve all troubles quickly.

I'll do my best.
