There is a function  wait_for_HP() in uhci-hub.c. In this
patch, it is used in suspend_rh(),  I think this can be a
solution. And I have tested this patch, it can fix the bug.

I think there is another patch needed. As Alan said in another
mail, in the UHCI_RH_RUNNING_NODEVS case, it should not be stopped
if the uhci device is HP iLo virtual usb.
I believe that if you change the UHCI_RH_RUNNING_NODEVS case, you will
find that this patch (calling wait_for_HP) isn't needed.

In fact, the patch is so easy that I am including it below.  Please
test this (without either of your patches) to see if it works.

I have tested the UHCI_RH_RUNNING_NODEVS case yeasterday, and it works.
But the function suspend_rh is also called in other places, so I think
it only fixes
the warning when auto stop is called, but not fix the warning when
uhci's bus_suspend
is called,  it will come out again.
Have you tried this?  I expect the warning will not occur when the
bus_suspend routine is called, because then there will be a 1-ms delay,
not just a 400-us delay.
I tested this, and the warning is gone.  Is this patch committed ?
I need to paste the link to suse bugzilla.


And if you add uhci->wait_for_hp check in the UHCI_RH_RUNNING_NODEVS case,
all hp uhci devices will not auto stop, not only the virtual devices. I
guess it may waste resource.
If you want, you can add a new flag specifically for virtual
controllers.  But it shouldn't matter -- as long as your kernels are
built with CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME enabled, there won't be any significant
waste of resources.

I think we can check the product id to determine whether a device is virtual.
Do you know if there is another way to check this?

Thanks
