[U-Boot] [PATCH v3] usb: gadget: Fix data aborts during USB ethernet boot

[U-Boot] [PATCH v3] usb: gadget: Fix data aborts during USB ethernet boot

[Joel Fernandes]

As seen on GCC 4.6 Linaro compiler, control_req buffer is not aligned
on 4 byte boundaray causing data aborts in eth_setup -> conf_buf
during dhcp boot over usb_ether. Fix the issue my aligning control_req
buffer using DEFINE_CACHE_ALIGN_BUFFER.

Tested on am335x_evm platform (beaglebone).
Applies on 2013.10-rc1 branch.

v2 changes:
 - Using DEFINE_CACHE_ALIGN_BUFFER macro for the alignment.
 - Also fixed alignment for status_req.

v3 changes:
 - Adjusted commit message for v2 change.

Test on sama5d3xek board with RNDIS gadget, it still has the unaligned 
access issue.

However, I test with this patch "usb: gadget: config: fix unaligned 
access issues" from: Troy Kisky <troy.kisky@boundarydevices.com> really 
fix the unaligned access issue.
