usb enumeration fail on beagleboard

[Paolo Pisati]

hardware: two arm boards (e.g. a panda and a beagle xm), a usb to mini usb cable

testing scenario: power both boards with external power supply and

panda: let it normally boot till login prompt

beagle: stop it at u-boot prompt

then connect the usb plug to the panda board, and the mini usb to the beagle, on panda console will appear:

now, revert the roles:

beagle: make it boot till login prompt

panda: stop it at the u-boot prompt

connect the usb plug to the beagle and the mini to the panda, on beagle console will appear:

recompiled latest u-boot (535abb9 - Sun May 15 23:23:36) for Panda and it seems to help a bit:
