I'm using an ISP1504 (i.e. ULPI) phy.

I don't need to, that's just how I made it running. If you have a better
suggestion, don't hesitate to tell me. :-)

It seems so, yes. For writing the PORTSC register the usb_ipg_gate clock
must be on. hw_phymode_configure writes the register and ci_usb_phy_init
enables the clock.

I guess that would work and the culprit is that I just took Chris' patch
because I don't have a clue about USB.

Best regards
Uwe
