Ok thanks.

There are some hardware changes with necessary CPLD changes due to new
handshake lines and UDC control lines (connect/disconnect) but I think
samosa per se is not affected. I have a niggle about a subtle
interaction that may be a problem but this may well be realted to boards
with a SM card inserted being mis-identified.

Agreed entirely. My point was that although we have had 2.6.x running
for some time - I have published that and is readily available - what
was stopping TCL adopting it was the broken UDC support.
