Nothing very different, no.

I do:

cd /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget
mkdir mtp \
mtp/strings/0x409 \
mtp/configs/c.1 \
mtp/configs/c.1/strings/0x409 \
mtp/functions/ffs.mtp \
mtp/functions/ecm.net \
mtp/functions/rndis.net

echo 0x80 > mtp/configs/c.1/bmAttributes
echo 500 > mtp/configs/c.1/MaxPower

echo 0x049f > mtp/idVendor
echo 0x505a > mtp/idProduct
echo cdc > mtp/configs/c.1/strings/0x409/configuration
ln -s mtp/functions/ecm.net mtp/configs/c.1/ecm.net

echo ci_hdrc.0 > mtp/UDC

PC side. I don't know what it says on the board side, I can't
telnet/SSH.

Considering that the clock is ticking, let's revert it for now; that
will give me some time to debug the issue, and then we can work on a
revised patch.
