The code in uhub.c:uhub_explore() is called on many occasions, it should
be able to catch these cases. As long as there are no bogus hub status
bits in the process... If there a problems one should first find out
what the parent device is (uhci/ohci/ehci/uhub) and check whether it
behaves strange on suspend/resume.

That's complicated, considering the different cases if the same device,
a similar one or a completely different are attached. The USB hub
likely doesn't notice by itself, unless the speed changes on an ehci.
(need to check the specs though)
The right solution would probably be to read some VPD or so after each resume,
but this is beyond the scope of your power management work... it
touches jachym's SOC project, I'd wait at least until this has settled.

best regards
Matthias
