Host initiates it, when host wants to suspend the whole bus or certain port, it will stop sending SOF, after 3ms of that, the device will pullup dp. After that, the bus is at suspend state (dp=3, dm=0). Please see: http://www.amebasystems.com/downloads/hardware/datasheets/USB/ usb_20_052709/Suspend%20Current%20ECN.pdf > How does this relate to a simple charger?

Only at SDP case, you need to consider suspend current limiation. > Maybe we need to not suspend the USB OTG interface when the device as a > whole enters suspend-to-RAM.

Consider below case: There is a Media Player connecting at laptop (without connecting wall power), the laptop may suspend sometime later(vbus is still on), the Media Player may go on working and continue drawing hundreds of mA from the host. Some hours later, the capacity of laptop will be exhausted which is not expected. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
