Yes, if send_frame triggers it, we wake using a work queue. A connection
request will wake us via remote wakeup.

Autosuspend on close, resume on open. I don't think we can do more.

The completion of an URB may happen after the autosuspend timeout passed.
But we cannot use the pm counters as they are not accessible in interrupt.
Hence we must maintain a counter ourselves.

The isoc stuff should be handled already, but I haven't tested that.

We should definitely do that.
