I use a set of udev rules that manually whitelist devices for
autosuspend. You can see it here:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform2/+/43728a93f6de137006c6b92fbb2a7cc4f353c9bf/power_manager/udev/gen_autosuspend_rules.py#83

You'll find at least one Rome chip in there.

Yes, and the quirk was broken, and I made sure it got reverted when it
broke my devices ;)

I was slightly more OK with marking specific IDs as broken, because
those IDs didn't happen to be ones that I knew were currently working.
Now you're breaking my systems again. But this time, it's more subtle
because bluetooth will still work, but we just suck more power leaving
our USB port active all the time.

But you're not accurately targeting the "some". AFAICT, you're wasting
power on my system.

I have Qualcomm telling me this is a platform issue. I haven't noticed
problems with autosuspend nor system suspend/resume on my platform. Do
you have any more detail on this issue? Have you consulsted QCA folks?

Unfortunately, Greg is already queueing this patch up to all the -stable
trees, so I'm going to have to revert it yet again in Chromium
kernels...
