Actually there are other changes in the 789[01] that require "not
so minor" driver changes. I started looking into this over the
weekend and have made some initial design decisions on how to deal
with these chips and I hope to have support in the CAM driver later
this week. I have a 2940U2W here to test the changes on, but I
don't have any U2 devices yet.
