Aha, I'm beginning to understand!

It's basically the same as the patch you posted at the start of this
thread. In other words:

* When nothing is plugged in, the port(hub) suspends and stays
suspended; no oscillating.

* When I plug something in, the system doesn't see it.

* If I then manually resume the hub ("echo on > usb3/power/control"),
new devices are seen, and devices can be unplugged/replugged and seen.

* While a device is plugged in, I can "echo auto > usb3/power/control"
and it stays operational.

So, I guess the only question is: the patch you posted was to solve the
problem of seeing bogus status during suspend, which causes the
immediate resume; Why doesn't that work?
