readl() (which is used by dwc2_is_controller_alive()) adds a memory barrier to the register accesses, that should force all register accesses the be correctly ordered. I fail to see how a silicon quirk could cause this and if, indeed, it does, I'd be more comfortable with a proper STARS tickect number from synopsys :-s Then again, I don't even have a device with this controller and it seems to only be a problem with Robert's setup, so maybe it's a silicon bug caused by whoever integrated dwc2 in his silicon. -- balbi
