There's some question as to whether this should be considered a kernel bug. The kernel isn't doing anything wrong; the problem is that various userspace programs enable autosuspend for devices that can't support it properly.

I'm currently working on a patch for laptop_mode. The maintainer tells me there's work going on in the kernel to blacklist USB devices that don't implement autosuspend correctly (like mice turning their light off, etc...). Is that true?
