They aren't errors in fact, just info messages.

It won't revert, there's more stuff on top of it.  And it is a fix, so
reverting it is not really a good idea anyway.

I suspect that the USB controllers are put into low-power states at one
point and they don't generate wakeup events.  I'm not sure, though, why this
is related to power resources.

Can you please send a dmesg boot log and the output of acpidump from the
affected machine?
