Subject: [PATCH] ACPI / PM: allow deeper wakeup power states with no _SxD nor _SxW

acpi_dev_pm_get_state() is used to determine the range of allowable
device power states when going into S3 suspend. This is implemented
by executing the _S3D and _S3W ACPI methods.

Linux follows the ACPI spec behaviour in that when _S3D is implemented
and _S3W is not, Linux will not go into a power state deeper than the one
returned by _S3D for a wakeup-enabled device.

However, this same logic is being applied to the case when neither
_S3D nor _S3W are present, and the result is that this function
decides that the device must stay in D0 (fully on) state.

This is breaking USB wakeups on Asus V222GA and Acer XC-830. _S3D and
_S3W are not present, so the USB controller is left in the D0 running
state during S3, and hence it is unable to generate a PME# wake event.

The ACPI spec is unclear on which power states are permissable for
wakeup-enabled devices when both _S3D and _S3W are missing.
However, USB wakeups work fine on these platforms under Windows, where
device manager shows that they are using D3 device state for the USB
controller in S3.

I assume that the "max = min" clamping done by the code here is
specifically written for the _S3D but no _S3W case. By making the
code true to those conditions, avoiding them on these platforms,
the controller will be put into D3 state and USB wakeups start working.

Additionally I feel that this change makes the code more directly
mirror the wording of the ACPI spec and it's associated lack of clarity.

Thanks to Mathias Nyman for pointing us in the right direction.
