I'm not so sure about this.  By returning early, you prevent the drivers 
bound to this device from suspending.  But they can't operate properly 
when the system is in a low-power mode.  Won't that cause problems?

Maybe this really belongs in usb_suspend_device(), and its counterpart 
belongs in usb_resume_device().

Did I miss something?  I didn't notice this field in any of the earlier 
patches.  Was it already created by the prerequisite series?  If so, why 
didn't that series do this initialization?

And doesn't this belong in the 3/5 patch, the one that creates the 
sb_usage_count field?
