So for HID devices, they also been disconnected when suspend and auto reconnected when resume, right?

I just tried a2dp-sink devices(BT headphones), and it wasn't reconnected after system resume.
I checked your patches which to supported a2dp-sink auto reconnect, and found them may didn't been included in bluez5.55,  can you help confirm that?

Yes, it' reasonable, but I think it may need to reconnect all the devices which are disconnected due to suspend, right?
Otherwise for the user, when we connect the BT, which means we do want to use the BT device,
but every time when system get into suspend, we will need to reconnect the device manually, it's really inconvenient.

Why here only add a2dp-sink device auto reconnect support?
Why not add all the devices auto reconnect support which are disconnected due to suspend?

I'm not sure whether it's reasonable, our drivers seems can be suspended during transfer file and A2DP playing.
Maybe we really need a wakelock here.
