The teardown descriptor is not queued. I have figured out the reason.
The function cppi41_dma_channel_abort() enable the teardown by setting the bit corresponding to the endpoint number.
The address of the register is USB_TDOWN but actually the address is wrong in the case of DA8xx.
Using the right address (0x1c) fix the teardown warnings.
I will work on a fix.

The fix should also fix this issue.

Note that the teardown is not the only thing that doesn't work correctly.
I think same kind of issue should apply to the autoreq and the dma mode.
I will work on a patch that should solve all of them.

Thanks,
