While modifying the USB power control of the code, I noticed the patch
made by Dinh is not there. Just realize the git clone through http from
main git doesn't work. I was able to clone but getting older version.
With getting the latest code, all my pendrive now can works with dcache
off. Its easier now as I can get consistent behaviour compared
previously. With that, dcache investigation for tomorrow then
