[PATCH v4 0/5] Support system sleep with offloaded usb transfers

[Guan-Yu Lin]

Wesley Cheng and Mathias Nyman's USB offload design enables a co-processor
to handle some USB transfers, potentially allowing the main system to
sleep and save power. However, Linux's power management system halts the
USB host controller when the main system isn't managing any USB transfers.
To address this, the proposal modifies the system to recognize offloaded
USB transfers and manage power accordingly.

This involves two key steps:
1. Transfer Status Tracking: Propose xhci_sideband_get and
xhci_sideband_put to track USB transfers on the co-processor, ensuring the
system is aware of any ongoing activity.
2. Power Management Adjustment:  Modifications to the USB driver stack
(dwc3 controller driver, xhci host controller driver, and USB device
drivers) allow the system to sleep without disrupting co-processor managed
USB transfers. This involves adding conditional checks to bypass some
power management operations.

patches depends on series "Introduce QC USB SND audio offloading support"
