I agree that the name is somewhat misleading and it's hard find something
concise. 'always_power_in_suspend' would certainly be more correct, it
would make it slightly harder to configure the 'always power off' case
though, since you would have to make sure that USB wakeup is disabled. IIUC
this should be the default though (unless explicitly enabled), so probably
it's not so bad. I'm somewhat undecided between 'always_power_in_suspend'
and 'keep_powered_in_suspend'.

I tend to agree, though yes, you could make a valid argument for either
value.

Thanks, I think we are good, especially after the additional testing
I did today.

right, I'll remove the realtek string in the next version.

Thanks!
