OK, so I found that reverting that patch does "solve" the issue, but
it's got nothing to do with that patch being wrong. There is some memory
corruption issue in your patches that is hidden if that patch is reverted.

In other words, on both Springbank (which you don't have, and has an EMC
scaling table so that the EMC frequency probably varies with CPU load)
and Ventana (which is what I assume you're testing on, and has no EMC
table, so the EMC clock frequency is fixed):

1) Tegra's for-next branch: Works fine.

2) (1) plus your patches: Broken as I described above.

3) (2) plus revert 9304512 "usb: host: tegra: don't touch EMC clock":
works fine on Ventana, somewhat works on Seaboard; lots of "can't
enumerate USB bus" messages, but eventually succeeds.

The really interesting thing is that if I take (2) above plus *just* the
following patch:

Then it works fine on both Ventana and Seaboard.

To me, this says that there's nothing at all wrong with 9304512 "usb:
host: tegra: don't touch EMC clock", but rather there is some memory
corruption going on in your patches series, and adding that extra field
in the struct just hides the effect of the memory corruption.

Please debug and fix that. Thanks.
