Originally, the runtime PM core would send an idle notification whenever a suspend attempt failed. The idle callback routine could then schedule a delayed suspend for some time later. However this behavior was changed by commit f71648d73c1650b8b4aceb3856bebbde6daa3b86 (PM / Runtime: Remove idle notification after failing suspend). No notifications were sent, and there was no clear mechanism to retry failed suspends. This caused problems for the usbhid driver, because it fails autosuspend attempts as long as a key is being held down. A companion patch changes the PM core's behavior, but we also need to change the USB core. In particular, this patch (as1493) updates the device's last_busy time when an autosuspend fails, so that the PM core will retry the autosuspend in the future when the delay time expires again.
