Hmm, I'm not familiar with the rpi usb controller, but AFAIK the rpi uses
an onboard usb-2 hub, when talking to usb-1 devices attached to a usb-2
hub you must address the tt in the first usb-2 hub upstream of the
usb-1 device. See e.g.:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commitdiff;h=4e2c4ad3604ba6f5053090749d64ed3ce5914805
http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commitdiff;h=fcdd8aaa48dfcac492cbac5436d9edc3f5928325

And also, for a controller which AFAICT is closer to the rpi usb controller:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commitdiff;h=e740ca3cab93a8cb31d870bffecd6aa8eadf44e1

Note that the last 2 commits both do a bunch of magic to translate from usb_device
pointers to dm device pointers and back, not sure if the rpi usb controller code
has been converted to dm yet, but if it has that is a likely culprit.

I hope this helps.

Hans
