Well, I thought that it would be nicer if drivers handled autosuspend in a transparent (from the point of view of the core) way. Now, it seems to follow from what you're saying that this is not possible in general, because of USB mass storage devices that need some special handling. I'm not familiar with the USB code, so can you please tell me how the USB autosuspend is handled at present and what exactly the problem with that is?
