Alan Stern 8ef42ddd9a 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.
