I agree (although it wouldn't be the first first delay in usb_storage,
would it). Maybe Rodolfo, who ported this driver has an idea where to
start looking?

The problem really is that U-Boots USB is pretty old (derived somewhere
from Linux 2.2) and that many bugs we are encountering these days have
been fixed long ago in the kernel. So I guess what's eventually going to
happen is that a new shiny Linux USB Stack will be ported to U-Boot. But
until this happens we'll have to continue with and contiue fixing bugs
in the old one. It's kind of messy, and I'm trying not to make things
worse.
