Many thanks to Greg KH and Alan Stern for reviewing the patch and
replying to me.
I'd like to start by asking Greg KH's question.

A1:This patch is expected to be applied to the USB digital headset,
mouse, and keyboard,
and we expect to wake up the system by operating them when the system
has suspended.

A2:I've verified that user-space control does the trick, but
Personally speaking, it's not a good solution.
For each device plugged into the host, the user space needs to check whether
it is one of the three and to enable wakeup.It may be better to enable
wakeup when loading
a HID class drivers, from my perspective. Could you please give me
some advice if possible.

I have spent some time studying your responses, and learned a lot. I
absolutely agree with many
of your points, but still have some doubts.

Q1 for Alan Stern: Boot device includes a boot mouse and boot keyboard,
why the patch(3d61510f4ecac) only enables boot keyboard by default,
and in addation boot
protocol is used in BIOS,why is it used as a wakeup judgment condition
in the OS?

Q2: for Alan Stern:  As you comment 'History has shown that quite a
few HID devices don't
handle remote wakeup properly'  I consulted the USB20 Spec in Chapter
9.2.5.2 and it has
this description:'If a device supports remote wakeup, it must also
allow the capability to be
enabled and disabled using the standard USB request'  So these devices
that you're talking about
are not compliant with the USB20 protocol specification to my mind. If
so, shouldn't we
support these non-standard devices.


Thanks

ryan
