I think part of the issue here is how usb_ether didn't act like the rest
of the gadget do, for example fastboot.

For testing, what happens if you disable CPSW? Does it both bind (as it
shows here) and then use the expected device?

Yes, we'll need to make that default y if USB_ETHER.

Well, does it work if you do:
bind /ocp/usb at 47400000/usb at 47401000 usb_ether
tftp 0x81000000 zImage
?
