Hi,

I have been using an ACME Arietta board (Microchip AT91SAM9G25 MPU, ARM9@400Mhz) for some years, and from time to time I need to do a kernel upgrade to fix issues or introduce new required features.

I have recently noticed a regression in the ethernet over USB Gadget. The system boots fine and when the device is first connected to a host it is recognized. But upon disconnection, the second time the device is connected to the host, it is no longer recognized. Of course, the gadget is self powered.

I did a "git bisect" and found that the patch introducing the regression is this:

     usb: gadget: atmel: support USB suspend
     This patch adds support for USB suspend to the Atmel UDC.

Given that the patch that you want to revert is almost 3 years old, it's 
a bit of a stretch to call this a regression.  I suspect that a cleaner 
way forward is to introduce some kind of quirk for your board.

I have a self-powered board where the USB suspend sequence works and 
device add/remove works fine.  So fundamentally, I suspect that the 
driver is ok.

With all that said, I'm not immediately in a position to run tests on my 
SAMA5D2 board right now and the kernel on that board is 5.2.  I'm not 
sure when we we would notice that USB suspend stopped working because 
there is no kernel maintenance planned for that board, as far as I know; 
someday, however, that work might happen and the lack of working USB 
suspend will be a regression in and of itself.

Thanks,
Jonas
