I think "note" is a misnomer and has the wrong type.
A single string for an entire driver is not a good idea, as can be
witnessed with the recent rayer_spi patches.

If you want to get rid of that union and have one combined dev_entry for
USB/PCI and other programmers, why not? The "type" parameter of
ft2232_spi could end up in there as well.

Suggestions welcome.
