Let me explain better my situation. My board have a serial line and an
USBdev as I/O interfaces. In linux I'm going to use the serial line
for the console and the USBdev for rootfs and other network
activities. I'd like to do the same into u-boot in order to have a
serial console and a TFTP file transfer.

Do you think that I can use the current implemented software (apart
the usbdcore_au1100) for my purposes?
