Two issues seem strange to me:
1. Why on these boards (except Odroid XU3) appears an usb0 interface
(after adding gadget support)? If they don't have the USB cable attached
then it shouldn't?

2. ip=dhcp should send DCHP requests on all interfaces:

   Otherwise the device is determined using
   autoconfiguration. This is done by sending
   autoconfiguration requests out of all devices,
   and using the device that received the first reply.

So why it is not sent on eth0? Maybe there is no eth0 interface now
because of some conflict in USB drivers? Or maybe there was no eth0
interface also before and everything booted from MMC?

Best regards,
Krzysztof
