Hi Michal,

Thanks for your insight.

I believe the proper fix of autopm failure during initialization is
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-bluetooth/20250319231235.812700-1-sean.wang@xxxxxxxxxx/

Some time earlier this year I was planing to pick it up and push it
forward, but it turned out I was too busy. Maybe I will find some time...

That being said, the bug I encountered has nothing to with the device
initialization though.

Not the case of my devices. Autosuspend and (non-remote) autowakeup
always work fine. The only thing that triggers the bug is a random[1]
remote wakeup.

Usbmon always shows no URB between the autosuspend and the subsequent
remote wakeup, expect for the interrupt from the root hub.

[1]: it happens when no Bluetooth device is trying to establish a
connection.

I also think this might be one of the reasons.

Thanks,
Rong
