OK. Thanks for the explanation.
Fortunately the cozybit firmware is not being updated often now. I'll
take on the submission task. Do you think usb8388_olpc.bin would be an
appropriate name?

And after that, how should we handle it?
We could put a machine_is_olpc() check in if_usb.c which makes it look
for the usb8388_olpc.bin file over all the others?

Thanks,
Daniel
