Please check whether you are not accidentally touching the ports
linux-0dmf:/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/1-0:1.0/usb1-port1
At paths like this you find control files for ports, not the
root hub as a device.

OK, so autosuspend does work if you enable it for the device but
not the hub?

It can. It is a recent feature if ACPI supports that on a machine.

Could be, but could also be software.
Please double check where exactly an "on" is needed.
