Actually the ACPI spec has an answer for the case when _S3D is present.
The lack of clarity is only over the situation when both _S3D and _S3W
are missing - like on the platforms being worked on here.

The _S3D docs say:
> If the device can wake the system from the S3 system sleeping state (see

Looking at the design of the existing Linux code, it seems like this
"max = min" assignment that is causing us trouble originates directly
from an attempt to implement that logic: if we didn't get a response from
_S3W, then we must clamp ourselves to the data we got from _S3D.

If I modify the Linux code to be a little more specific in that logic
(only applying when we actually got something from _S3D) then the
problematic behaviour is avoided and USB wakeups work.

I feel that this change makes the Linux implementation more directly
mirror the wording in the ACPI spec and it's associated lack of clarity
for when both methods are missing. Thoughts?
