Suriyan, you quite misunderstand my intention. You added really useful 
part of code - now user can read/write data to USB mass storage or boot 
over the Ethernet. Probably you are using this feature. And this is a 
usage of the USB for the user.

For the user - it's not important how it works in the hardware - I would 
like to get some simple instructions, e.g. How to boot Odroid over the 
Ethernet, or how to write data to USB stick. I believe that users read 
this documentation when they starting use of Odroid with the mainline 
U-Boot, and a description of another boot option is welcome here.
It should be "How to start with this board", rather than how to develop 
USB hub driver on it.

Best regards,
