Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 3/3] scsi: allow scsi devices to use direct complete

A device is not able to use direct complete if its children do not
also use direct complete. Even though the SCSI layer leaves devices
runtime suspended, the way it does it still prevents its parent from
using direct complete.
