You mentioned the PM handling twice, but I am not sure what you mean.
The driver provides callbacks for SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS, which I tested in
freeze and memory power states with positive results. On the other hand,
I suppose that you insisted for a good reason, so I would be grateful if
you could show me what I am doing wrong. The macro pattern was taken
from other devices under sound/, which also check CONFIG_PM_SLEEP,
but maybe I took a bad example or missed something.

I have nothing against adding this device to onboard_usb_hub as long as
it is valid upstream, so no conflicts arise with new additions to the
list (which was the trigger for all of this with v6.7). That is
obviously the most trivial solution and as you said, it is justs a
naming issue because the power sequence is not HUB-specific.
