You're right, it's not upstream. This is a part of my config:

#    define CONFIG_CI_UDC     /* ChipIdea CI13xxx UDC */
#    define CONFIG_USB_REG_BASE    0x80080000
#    define CONFIG_USBD_HS    /* High speed support for usb device and 
usbtty. */
#    define CONFIG_USB_GADGET_DUALSPEED
#    define CONFIG_USB_ETHER
#    define CONFIG_USB_ETH_CDC

Applied, but the error still exists.

I checked this and I found that ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is set to 64, which is 
not true for Freescale i.MX28. This processor has an ARM926EJ-S, which 
has an cache line size of 32.

In arch/arm/include/asm/cache.h the macro ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is defined 
as followed:

#ifdef CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE
#define ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN    CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE
#else
#define ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN    64
#endif

And in /arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/cache.c as followed:

#ifndef CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE
#define CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE    32
#endif

arch/arm/include/asm/cache.h does not see the definition of 
CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE in /arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/cache.c, so it's a 
bad place to put it in there.

I defined CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE to 32 in my config header file and 
it works under the following circumstances: I have to disable the macro 
CONFIG_USB_GADGET_DUALSPEED. But, and this is strange, it works only the 
first time of a tftp download after a reset of the board. If I try to 
use tftp a second time, I get the same timeout error as before.

So, in short:

    => reset
    => run update_rootfs
    [...]
    done
    => reset
    => run update_rootfs
    [...]
    done

works and

    => reset
    => run update_rootfs
    [...]
    done
    => run update_rootfs
    [...]
    timeout sending packets to usb ethernet

results in a timeout. Strange.

Lastly, I changed CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE to 16 and this works for me 
in normal mode an in dual speed mode.

I tried this, but with no success.

I have one board connect to a PC. The log shows two different errors 
happening on the board. The first log shows a tftp command on the board 
stopping with a timeout after receiving some packets. The second log 
shows a tftp command on the same board throwing an error before 
receiving any packet.
