This isn't even close to the only problem I'm having. I don't make it out o=
f cvmx_usb_initialize at all. One of two things happens:

1) The code completes and device_probe returns ENXIO so the routine bails o=
ut and USB doesn't work.
2) Something goes insane and I either get a load fault halfway through the =
routine touching one of the USB registers (CVMX_USBCX_GAHBCFG I think), or =
I get an instruction exception in some worker routine buried in the middle.

Ouch indeed....

Hey Andrew,

I'm pretty sure there's a silly little bug that really BADLY breaks the USB=
 driver for some of us.

Ouch, nice catch.  Is that the only thing keeping the USB driver from
working for you?  I thought it had rotted some behind other controller
changes and also had some problems with stalls, but perhaps the
culprit was initialization all along.  I'll check in that fix soon,
but would like to hear from you as to whether you have any additional
fixes for USB (or even bugs to report.)

I've BCC'd some Cavium people who will no doubt appreciate the bug report!

Thanks,
Juli.
