[jcrigby 27Oct2011] Having issues with the OMAP4 usb peripheral works on cold boot but not on reset. See same issue with usbtty so this is not specific to my spl stuff.
[jcrigby 10Nov2011] Retarget to 11.11
[rsalveti, Nov 10, 2011] We should really try to get this done for the 11.11 cycle, we moved it 2 times already (iirc).
[jcrigby 14Nov2011] Current status is u-boot-spl loads over usb and downloads u-boot.bin.
[jcrigby 15Nov2011] Only thing left is to include building of usb enabled u-boot-spl.bin in u-boot packaging.

Headline: PandaBoard will now boot using U-Boot USB-SPL
Acceptance: Boot with PandaBoard to U-Boot prompt without a SD card installed.
