Have you apply these two patches together:
[RFC PATCH 1/2] usb: dfu: decrease dfu->r_left along with the transfer
[RFC PATCH 2/2] usb: dfu: correct dfu buffer inited value

I test this with dfu mmc.

Without these two patches, it will read file two times.

with these two patches, it only read file one time.

The result is opposite.

For the NAND upload, if without patch: [U-Boot,RFC] usb: dfu: make nand 
upload working (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/283886/)
It doesn't work at my side. more information as following:

It doesn't transfer anything.

After apply the patch for NAND upload, it works OK. And only perform one 
time reading.
