We add some debug log manually, please let me explain a little more. See 
above "=>".

We use EHCI as host and have two kinds of mechanism to remote wakeup 
event, "in-band" is ehci controller self wakeup, sorry to make you 
misunderstanding.

Yes, I mean a race between kernel driver resume and controller remote 
wakeup.

Here the problem is, after remote wakeup, the controller still is in 
SUSPEND and kernel report disconnect finally. Could kernel write 
"SUSPEND" or "Force Port Resume" bit be related to the problem we meet with?

I am sorry to make a mistake, I quote it from controller reference 
manual. I can find the similar definition in EHCI Rev 1.0,
4.3.1 Port Suspend/Resume.

"When Force Port Resume bit is a one, the host controller sends resume 
signaling down the port. System software times the duration of the 
resume (nominally 20 milliseconds) then sets the Force Port Resume bit 
to a zero."

I agree disable irq for maximum 20-ms is not good, but I can find 
another case when ehci_hub_control() deal with GetPortStatus.

I have no idea how controller run, from both EHCI spec and reference 
manual, I can only deduce that it's better kernel driver don't touch 
PORTSC until resume finished. Otherwise how to explain the problem we 
meet with? (After remote wakeup, the controller still is in SUSPEND and 
kernel report disconnect finally.)

When we try the original change in the mail, we never see the same 
problem until now.
