Hi Siarhei,
unfortunately I'm not able to compile even clean master with enabled
CONFIG_USB_MUSB_GADGET. I'm using Linaro toolchain and get this error:
arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld.bfd: error:
/home/pietrushnic/storage/wdc/projects/3mdeb/cubietruck/toolchains/gcc-linaro-4.9-2015.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.9.3/libgcc.a(_udivmoddi4.o)
uses VFP register arguments, u-boot does not

Makefile:1183: recipe for target 'u-boot' failed
make: *** [u-boot] Error 1
CONFIG_USB_MUSB_GADGET automatically enable CONFIG_USB_MUSB_SUNXI. When
I try with CONFIG_USB_MUSB_SUNXI not set I'm getting other failure:
(...)

My steps:
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- Cubietruck_defconfig
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- menuconfig
# enable CONFIG_USB_MUSB_GADGET
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- -j$(nproc)
Any idea how to narrow VFP problem ?

Cannot apply this series to master cleanly. Should I try different tree ?

IMHO one method that works would be great.
