Specifically that variable is set when core enters to hibernation or 
partial power down.

dwc2_port_suspend() is a function which is called when set port feature
"USB_PORT_FEAT_SUSPEND" is asserted. Yet, bus_suspended is a variable. 
That variable should be set any time that host enters to hibernation or 
partial power down.

_dwc2_hcd_resume() is triggered by the system.
As an example lets assume you have hibernated the PC and then you turn 
the PC on. When you turn the PC back on in that case _dwc2_hcd_resume() 
function is called to resume from suspended state (Hibernation/partial 
power down)
