Ok, I tried 3.18-rc1 (with dt appended to the zImage) and this should
be the logs from that attempt (on PC).

IOW usb gadget driver loaded (or there would be no "new high-speed USB
device" message, but communication does not work.

I'm attaching the config.

My goal is to get nfsroot to work, and then I can play with bluetooth,
userland and power management. For now, power consumption is not
important, as I'm unable to boot useful system.

(I could boot from MMC, but that's too cumbersome to use due to lack
of space, hard communication, and constant fiddling with device
cover).
