I don't have this hardware available. I just tried with a i.MX hardware
and it works as expected. I have no idea where the jz4740 musb could
behave differently.

Here's exactly what I did:

mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/mygadget
cd /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/mygadget
mkdir -p configs/c.1/strings/0x409
echo "C1:Composite Device" > configs/c.1/strings/0x409/configuration
mkdir -p functions/ecm.usb0
ln -s functions/ecm.usb0 configs/c.1/
echo "ci_hdrc.0" > UDC

Did you do something differently apart from the "ci_hdrc.0" of course?

BTW when you say 'NO-CARRIER' is it on the PC side, board side, or
both?

It would be great if we could sort this out, but if not I am fine with
reverting this patch. I guess this topic will come back to my desk
sooner or later then

Sascha
