I agree, this happens. Which controller and driver do you use on the Sunxi 
hardware?

btw you can check if this is a cache issue by disabling dcache (set 
CONFIG_CMD_CACHE in the config and use 'dcache off' before 'usb start'). You can 
also patch the arch/arm/lib/cache-cp15.c functions to do additional alignment 
checks (always a good idea) , just like I did that in 
arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/cache.c
