USB: Avoid runtime suspend loops for HCDs that can't handle suspend/resume Not all host controller drivers have bus-suspend and bus-resume methods. When one doesn't, it will cause problems if runtime PM is enabled in the kernel. The PM core will attempt to suspend the controller's root hub, the suspend will fail because there is no bus-suspend routine, and a -EBUSY error code will be returned to the PM core. This will cause the suspend attempt to be repeated shortly thereafter, in a never-ending loop. Part of the problem is that the original error code -ENOENT gets changed to -EBUSY in usb_runtime_suspend(), on the grounds that the PM core will interpret -ENOENT as meaning that the root hub has gotten into a runtime-PM error state. While this change is appropriate for real USB devices, it's not such a good idea for a root hub. In fact, considering the root hub to be in a runtime-PM error state would not be far from the truth. Therefore this patch updates usb_runtime_suspend() so that it adjusts error codes only for non-root-hub devices. Furthermore, the patch attempts to prevent the problem from occurring in the first place by not enabling runtime PM by default for root hubs whose host controller driver doesn't have bus_suspend and bus_resume methods.
