I think we should CC: the maintainer of the dwc2 driver (added).

Yeah, okay. This indicates that the dwc2 driver has got a problem with
suspending ports. Perhaps not surprising, given the context...

This isn't exactly about powering down; this is about putting the port
into suspend. If the dwc2 driver is really suspending the port, it's
not telling the USB core drivers. But that commit may be related.
It's possible that the Genesys Logic hub doesn't like to have remote
wakeup enabled without going into suspend.

That does show pretty convincingly that runtime suspend is causing the
problem. But I still have no idea why the problem affects some devices
and not others. It's a mystery.

Maybe Minas can help. He knows a lot more about dwc2 than I do (which
is practically nothing).

Presumably because it uses xHCI rather than dwc2.
