Yes.  ;)

Sorry for the delay here, I'm back to a place where I can test this on
real hardware.

My patch was fixing a real hang when musb was built-in (or loaded), in
host-mode (mini-A cable attached) but no devices attached.  I just tried
to reproduce this, and with your patch, the system hangs during suspend.

That being said, your description makes sense why this context
save/restore is needed.  Perhaps your patch needs to add a check whether
the device is runtime suspended (I gather this is what Ruslan's patch is
doing.)
