The description of the problem doesn't sound right to me. For instance, would it help if usb_runtime_resume() did honor the needs_binding flag? I doubt it. Things like the wakeup setting would still be lost before the runtime resume occurred. I suspect the right answer is always to resume a USB device if it needs a reset-resume, but otherwise allow it to remain in runtime suspend. Reverting the patch for now is okay with me. Tomeu may want to work on a better solution. Part of the difficulty is that the PM core wants to know before suspending whether skipping resume will be okay, but the USB stack doesn't know until after the host controller has been resumed. In the end, we'll probably have the PM core call usb_resume all the time, but usb_resume will leave the device in runtime suspend if it can. This isn't ideal but it may be the best we can do.
