Looks like there is explicit code in hcd_bus_suspend() to check for
that race condition right after setting hcd->state, or do I
misinterpret that (the "Did we race with a root-hub wakeup event?"
part)? Also, it seems xhci_bus_suspend() explicitly sets 'hcd->state =
HC_STATE_SUSPENDED' before giving up the spinlock for some
undocumented reason, maybe to avoid exactly this problem. We could
just copy that trick if the hcd.c solution isn't enough (although the
DWC2 bus_suspend/bus_resume in the other patch don't grab that
spinlock right now, where I'm also not so sure if that's a good
idea...).
