usb: wusbcore: send keepalives to unauthenticated devices This patch modifies the WUSB device disconnect timer code to send keepalives to all connected devices even if they are not authenticated. This fixes a problem where unauthenticated devices that lose their connection before they are authenticated will stay in the device tree forever. More importantly, devices in this situation will never relinquish their port on the root hub so eventually all root ports will be taken up and no other devices can connect. A comment in the existing code states that there are some devices that may not respond to keepalives if they have not been authenticated. That comment is about 5 years old and I don't know of any WUSB devices that act that way. Either way, any buggy devices that may still be around will continue to work as long as they can transition to the authenticated state within the WUSB LOA timeout of 4s, which is not unreasonable to expect.
