That must be a bug on your host machine. I have not seen a similar
problem on my hosts.

I never had to do that on my systems and I am not aware that others
have reported it.

But the real reason for the first device you see is the BootROM within
the OMAP3. This allows to load the first U-Boot through USB (which is
something we don't need because we have a uSD card we can always
boot from).

But AFAIK it disappears soon after U-Boot starts and before the Kernel
takes over the interface.
