As I said offline on Sat, I suspected that the suppliers (that would
be xusba and xusbc if my understanding of the system is correct) were
suspended prematurely during or after the consumer (xusb) probe, which
previously had been prevented from occurring by the
pm_runtime_get_noresume(supplier) removed by the $subject patch.

What you said above seems to be in agreement with that theory, so it
looks like you simply need to pass DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTICE to
device_link_add() in both cases, as that would prevent the suppliers
from being suspended until the consumer suspends (or its PM-runtime
status is changed to "suspended").  And if the consumer never
suspends, the suppliers will never suspend too then.
