Yeah, we had to wire up a post-production board modification so that we
could shoot the Marvell unit in the head on every reset attempt, because
they were so slow to deal with the problems with their binary-only
firmware which we couldn't debug for ourselves.

Unfortunately, we also call the reset function upon unloading the
usb83xx driver. Which means the device falls off the USB bus, then comes
back a few milliseconds later.... and triggers autoload of the module ;)
