Its strange, as per my understanding patch does not introduce any side
effect for devices whose resume time is normal. So, if a device is
connected to the SS port and it was working after resume from
suspend to ram without this patch, then that device should still work
with this patch.

Infact this has resolved another bug reported to bugzilla
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53211

Yaa, sure additional info will help to understand the issue.
-- dmesg log of suspend resume when this patch is not applied and also
when applied.
-- dmesg log with following additional debug print.

Let me see what is the portstatus value and why didn't it break loop in first
iteration if device was OK.
