Let me summarize for you:
- was having a board with linux 2.6.x and uboot from 2009 working fine
on a usb pen driver (look on thread in linux-usb)
- was having the same board with any version of linux from 3.18 to
4.15 and fail with this pen drive
- check back all the changes from linux 2.6.x  to linux 4.15.x and
compare every single register and all the usb code and was just
confirm a better implementation of new kernel.
  but with a result of a usb stuck on the host port
- swap the boot-loader and having a working board
- go in deep in boot-loader and compare everything
- Understand the difference was the SION bit that was enable on all the mux

In general when a board start from reset it has default pin muxing.
Each peripheral need to setup the pin muxing according to the real
usage.
SION by default is not the right way to do it. What is the concept of
working board in your side? Just pass your testcase? Ok even this
board
was passing all test cases apart this usb pen drive. We was having in
the field some customer with usb issue time to time and only this
proof that somenthing was not real ok.
