Why not?

The existing USB code already takes this into account.  For "best 
effort" runtime autosuspend, if the driver wants remote wakeup 
capability and the user has disabled it (or the device doesn't provide 
it) then the autosuspend will fail.  However "forced" runtime 
suspension will succeed regardless of whether wakeup is enabled.
