Yes this would be the best way. It is possible as it use the same function.
And I have always wondered why the libusb was made instead of changing
the nut_usb to handle tings. But we can move bcmxcp_usb to use libusb,
and scrap the nut_usb.

I have some other tings on my mind. Can I contact you of list for some
talk about the bcmxcp driver ?
