It'll take me a while to be able to look at this. I don't have any
platform with TWL4030 (IIRC, AM335x uses tps65218 instead). Besides, I
have a slightly bigger problem to look at (MUSB + some hubs + CP2108
fails sometimes).

If I get some time, I'll try to have a look, but it might take a few
weeks.

cheers
