There's one thing we haven't touched upon yet. And I cannot really find
an answer in the spec.

What do we do if we return from S4 or S3? I think we need to restore
the ALternate Mode because our display may be running over that
Alternate Mode.
If we want to support USB persist we also need to restore data role
after S4.
