Raspberry Pi B is a single core device which runs with 700 MHz cpu freq.

Since the FTDI (full speed device) and the PL2303 (also full speed
device) behaves differently, i will try to compare those ftraces.

Unfortunately the bcm2835 datasheet [1] doesn't provide many information
about the USB IP core and the Synopsys documents aren't public
available. The Raspberry Pi Foundation decided to use a different driver
which uses FIQ in the downstream tree [2], but this won't be an option here.

Maybe i could start with comparing the register settings between dwc2
and dwc_otg.
