I've been trying different things, like suspending the device before
the transition, resetting the controller or playing with the clock
during transitions but it always results in the same kind of error:

ohci-da8xx 1e25000.usb: frame counter not updating; disabled
ohci-da8xx 1e25000.usb: HC died; cleaning up
usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 2

If you have any idea - let me know, otherwise I'll give up.

If we agree on the direction of these patches, then I can go with a
single enabled OPP for lcdk (456 MHz) and all OPPs up to 375 MHz
enabled for da850-evm.

David - do you want to keep the lego board as is?
