Is this really a _reset_ line?  That is, when you assert the reset 
line, does it actually reset the EHCI controller, or does it merely 
leave the controller in a partially powered-down state?

The difference is important.  During suspend, the controller is
supposed to remember the state of the port connections as well as other
settings.  If it doesn't, the controller and all attached USB devices
will have to be reinitialized every time the controller resumes, which
will increase the latency.
