Without that, we can't really put the controller in to runtime suspend, else we will not be able to detect a new device connect. IO daisy chaining is still not supported in mainline. One approach had been posted [1] and it works but it is still in transition. I've made some patches [2] which implement USB runtime suspend with remote wakeup working for OMAP3 beagle-xm board. This depends on [1]. It shouldn't be hard to get it working on OMAP4.
