Hi Albert,

This patch was a supplement (to quiet compiler warnings) to the USB
gadget infrastructure.

But as we know, usb:gadget hasn't been added to the u-boot mainline.

However, I'm working on this, so I predict, that in the (near) future I
would need those changes to suppress compiler warnings :-).

For now, the commit can be discarded, I will resubmit it if needed.
