Hi,

this is most likely wrong. Usbcore does check for a device's ability to
do remote wakeup and will block a runtime suspend if it detects that
a remote wakeup would be required but the device cannot deliver.
(static int autosuspend_check())

So by removing the flag in the probe() method means that devices will
suspend during operations without remote wakeup requested. Thus an
incoming packet cannot wake them up.

If you remove setting the flag on probe() you need to set it at open()
[and reset on close()], as devices which cannot do remote wakeup must
only be suspended when they are down.

	Regards
		Oliver
