I'm hacking here an i.MX35 not an i.MX23. So I already had a look at its
errata sheet http://cache.freescale.com/files/dsp/doc/errata/IMX35CE.pdf
but didn't find a similar "limitation" as you now pointed out by errata
number 2858 for i.MX23.

What about the fix for mv_udc, shouldn't they have a similar
"limitation"? How do you explain?
Or maybe someone from Marvell has an answer?


Thanks,
