Yes please. Could you explain as to why the usb needs to reset while
suspending?
This scenario is also observed in normal suspend to ram.

And why the USB gets disconnected on resume from hibernation.
I checked the register dump of usb in /sys/kernel/debug and all
registers after resume have zero value.

But if I run "usb start" from uboot and then resume, I see that usb
gets initialized again and I am able to use USB on resume.

Thanks,
