I have been getting reports of -75 (babble?) and -110 errors with both
control and iso transfers. The problematic kernels seem to be 2.4.17+,
with uhci HCD. IIRC, nearly all of the reports mentioned a Via chipset.
There are sporadic reports of corrupted iso packets (blocks of zeros
inserted randomly) with uhci under 2.4.17 as well.

This is the first case of a usbfs-related ov511 error that I have seen.
Very strange.

Greg (if you know): usbfs is not allowed to access claimed interfaces,
correct? (ie. ones that are implicitly claimed because of a successful
return from probe()). Are interfaces treated as claimed while probe() is
active, so that user-space "probes" cannot interfere with driver probes()?

I use usb-uhci, uhci, and usb-ohci regularly with ov511, and I have
never seen any of these problems. There are clearly a number of factors
involved here.
