Right, after checking the normal case, it calls
usb_set_usb2_hardware_lpm(udev, 0) eventually.
In the buggy machine, it doesn't reach that part and stops somewhere
after resume.
But unfortunately, I can't duplicate the issue after doing some
experiments anymore, so I can't get more info about that.
I'll dig further and get back to you when I have any progress.
