[U-Boot] Atmel AT91 USB DFU and USB device port driver

Hi,

It is a working one, I use it myself already a long time, but it needs
some rework to make it mainline ready/clean, I have not put much time
in it lately...

What kind of error?

The tree is ready for the 9261-ek so the 9263-ek is a close match, but
it might lack some configuration code.

It behaves like any other network adapter in U-boot. It will only be
brought up and thus visible to the host if some network action is
active, like e.g. a tftp get/put command.  Once that action is
completed, the connection is dropped again, and the pullup to the host
deactivated what makes the device invisible for the host. If there are
more network drivers available you must first make the usb0 the active
adapter.

Kind regards,
