[PATCH] Add power management op for RNDIS host
From: Shaoxu Liu
Date: Wed May 27 2026 - 03:48:06 EST
RNDIS host does not manage the USB power, and it will
cause more power consumption even when no data transferring.
Adding the power management operator will make the USB
enter suspend mode when no data transferring.
