Would be interesting to know how you got it working with DMA. Which
gadget driver were you using?

I bisected my issue, and got:

commit 387f869d2579e379ee343f5493dcd360be60f5c6 (refs/bisect/bad)
Author: Felipe Balbi <felipe.balbi@...ux.intel.com>
Date:   Wed Mar 22 13:25:18 2017 +0200

    usb: gadget: u_ether: conditionally align transfer size

With that reverted, the DMA works OK (and I can also now confirm that
OMAP_DMA_LCH_2D works). I haven't yet checked if we actually need that
quirk in OMAP UDC, or if this is related to RMK's findings of potential
bugs in the driver. Anyway, there is clearly yet another regression.
