AUTHORS
The ustir driver was written by David Sainty <David.Sainty@dtsp.co.nz>.

BUGS
The STIr4200 cannot notify the driver when it has received data, instead it has to be continuously polled. This driver polls (when idle) at a fairly low rate of 10 times per second, which means that system performance is not overly affected by rapid polling, but latency is fairly high.
