When dwc3 controller is working on host mode, which will create and
add the USB hcd for host side. Then if we want to suspend dwc3
controller as host mode, the USB device (bus) of host side will
runtime suspend automatically if there are no slave attached (by
usb_runtime_suspend()--->usb_suspend_both()--->usb_suspend_interface()--->usb_suspend_device()--->generic_suspend()--->hcd_bus_suspend()--->xhci_bus_suspend()),
but we should not suspend xHCI device (issuing xhci_suspend()) now,
since some other  controllers did not implement the runtime PM to
control xHCI device's runtime state, which will cause other
controllers can not resume xHCI device (issuing xhci_resume()) if the
xHCI device suspend automatically by its child device. Thus we should
get the runtime count for xHCI device in xhci_plat_probe() in case
xHCI device will also suspend automatically by its child device.
According to that, for xHCI device's parent: dwc3 device, we should
put the xHCI device's runtime count to suspend xHCI device manually.
