I never assumed it was a regression and that USB worked on RDU1 board
before, so I never tried to see if this was a regression. I can only
tell you that it hangs as soon as any PORTSC registers are accessed.

RDU1 design is based heavily on Babbage board, moreso USB1/ULPI
portion of it is an exact copy (it does use different GPIO for PHY
reset, but that's irrelevant), so I am surprised that it breaks in
your case.

However looking at imx51-babbage.dts, I am suspicious of it's USB1
setup. There we have usbh1phy node that references <&gpio2 5
GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW> as reset, but corresponding pinmux, pinctrl_usbh1reg,
is not being used anywhere. Cold that be that the problem you are
seeing is due to USB PHY not being properly reset?

Yeah, IMHO if you are dropping that flag, you may as well revert the
whole patch :-). The path that make the kernel hang in my case would
be taken if that flag is dropped.
