It seems like power management and other things in the linux-imx kernel 
are not fully implemented in mainline so there are quite a few differences.

My knowledge of USB, etc. is very limited, so I guess this is currently 
beyond my skills. Can you or someone else provide a patch to get 
started? I could help with testing, reviewing, etc.

Or maybe you can point out what needs to be done in more detail?

Thanks,
Frieder
