Thanks for checking the tree so early.

Can't say much about this one, but I'd like you to only keep this one
reverted and sort out the regressions in the musb core first.

Which role does your musb-based hardware have in this case, and which
MUSB_* config symbols do you set? You should have USB_MUSB_GADGET.

Good catch, I didn't expect board files to depend on config symbols that
have no effect on the driver itself.

Please check the attached patch and let me know if it helps.


Thanks,
