Sorry for confusing, I try to explain it clearly. Considering strict
power management for mobile device, we should also power off the usb
controller if there are no slaves attached even though it is usb host
function.

For example: No slave attached----> usb interface runtime suspend
----> usb device runtime suspend -----> xhci suspend -----> power off
usb controller. After that if the system wants to enter suspend state,
then it also will issue usb_dev_suspend(), then the
pm_runtime_resume() function (issued in choose_wakeup() function) will
return -ESHUTDOWN due to xhci has been suspend and hardware is not
accessible.

After system entering resume state, if there is slave attached ---->
power on usb controller -----> xhci resume -----> usb device runtime
resume ----> usb interface runtime resume. Usb device will resume
failed if runtime errors is set (-ESHUTDOWN), thus we should clear the
runtime errors in choose_wakeup() function to avoid this situation.

It present pm_runtime_resume() issued in choose_wakeup() function.

It present pm_runtime_resume() issued in choose_wakeup() function.

OK. I can modify it in next version if you agree this patch.

Like I explained above. Thanks.
