   NAK this patch. I and David Brownell have asked Greg to pull this 
totally broken patch (broken while in MUSB tree, the original patch was 
sane) from his tree and all to no avail...
The patch doesn't fix anything and only adds more breakage as it 
duplicates musb_platform_set_mode().
   I am dissatisfied how MUSB patches have been handled in general -- 
this is not the first breakage, and the valid patches have been lost, so 
DaVinci MUSB code keeps being broken since early 2.6.27-rc's (!) up to 
this time...

WBR, Sergei
