USB controller may access a wrong address for the dTD (endpoint transfer

g_ether module and iperf, a tool for measuring maximum TCP and UDP
bandwidth.

This hardware bug is explained in detail by errata number 2858 for i.MX23:

All (?) SOCs with an IP from chipidea suffer from this problem.
mv_udc_core fixes this bug by commit daec765.  There still may be
unfixed drivers.
why aren't you using that driver instead ? Is it really necessary to
keep this driver around ? I would really like to see uniformization
towards that, if you use the same IP, then the same driver ought to
suffice.

What's the reason for not using drivers/usb/chipidea ?
