Yes it did.

True.

=> unbind usb_ether
unbind - Unbind a device from a driver

Usage:
unbind <node path> [<driver>]
unbind <class> <index>
unbind <class> <index> <driver>

> or
> unbind usb_ether usb_ether

=> unbind usb_ether usb_ether                   
usb_ether is not a valid uclass

> ti-musb-peripheral usb at 47401000 has to stay in the dm tree output after the unbind. Or maybe try

Indeed when we perform the unbind, ti-musb-peripheral is removed. Yes,
binding it again like you advise makes it come back.

> and then the fastboot thing

Unfortunately after binding it again, so with the following dm tree
snippet:

 misc          0  [ + ]   ti-musb-wrapper       |   |-- usb at 47400000
 usb           0  [   ]   ti-musb-host          |   |   |-- usb at 47401800
 usb           0  [   ]   ti-musb-peripheral    |   |   `-- usb at 47401000

It still fails:

=> fastboot usb 0
couldn't find an available UDC
g_dnl_register: failed!, error: -19
exit not allowed from main input shell.

Without this series, this works:
=> unbind /ocp/usb at 47400000/usb at 47401000
=> bind /ocp/usb at 47400000/usb at 47401000 ti-musb-peripheral
=> fastboot usb 0

Thanks,
