Fine, i can add a patch for that. My usb phy patches are pending on it.

Hi
I think maybe my suspend/resume is not same as what you think.
The suspend/resume i mean is the peripharal sub system suspend/resume
states. When SOC enter this low power mode,
the clock to usb, power to usb are all shut down.
When the controller is shut down, i think that usb_remove_hcd will
help to remove all the attached devices.
We do not rely on usb host controller to wake up the whole sub system.
If a device is disconnected while the power was off, when the host
controller is powered again, it will do initialization again, and all
the attached devices are susposed be removed already.
