You misunderstood.  I meant that attempts to suspend a USB device without 
first suspending all its children and interfaces can't happen when doing a 
global suspend.  That's still true.

Your problem occurred because even though the PM core did _attempt_ to 
suspend the new children added by Greg's patch, it didn't _succeed_ 
because the patch did not provide suspend or resume methods.
