USB0: Core Release: 2.93a scanning bus 0 for devices... unable to get descriptor, error 0 usb_new_device: Cannot read configuration, skipping device 058f:6387 1 USB Device(s) found scanning usb for storage devices... 0 Storage Device(s) found => dcache off => usb reset resetting USB... USB0: Core Release: 2.93a scanning bus 0 for devices... 2 USB Device(s) found scanning usb for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found If I revert this patch, my USB stick works as well. I am also aware that Stefan mentions that without this patch, cache is not enabled at all. On the other hand, I cannot find any obviously faulty behavior in the dwc2 driver, it does flush_dcache_range()/invalidate_dcache_range() in the right places. Any ideas please ?
