Yes, it is broken on this port.  I've been trying to figure out how to
disable autosuspend at the driver level.  Until then we can do it with
udev rules but that's much less ideal.

On our current system we have autosuispend turned off for most things
via udev and laptop-mode-tools.  ...so really the only case we see
this reset happen is if an empty hub is plugged in and then you plug
something into the hub.  The reset isn't terrible and is much better
than the device getting stuck.

You can also see the reset doing its thing if you fully suspend the
system and try to wake up from a keyboard or a mouse attached to the
port.  Being able to wake up (and then seeing a reset) is still better
than not being able to wake up.

As per previous email, I disagree.  The fact that there may be more
than one reset exposed from the PHY and that there is not a tightly
coupled relationship between a PHY driver and a USB driver means that
we would need to re-invent the reset API on top of the PHY API.  In my
case I am exposing a single reset at the moment, but there may be
reasons to expose additional "PHY" resets in the future.

...using the existing reset API seems better.
