Some usb devices can't be resumed correctly after power off. This
patch is to add usb_device_allow_power_off() and usb_device_prevent_power_off()
for device's driver. Call pm_runtime_get_sync(portdev) to increase port's usage
count and then port will not be suspended. The device will not be powered off.

Oh, I don't see any code calling this function, so why did you add it?
Who needs it? Where is that code?
This is provided for device driver. Some device may not be compatible
with the power off mechanism and driver can use these function to
forbid/allow it. But currently, we are not sure which kinds of device
they are. So just provide new interfaces.
thanks,
