You don't have any other wakeup sources?  Like a power button?

This certainly reinforces the initial impression that the cause of the
warnings is a bug in the platform code.  You should ask the appropriate
maintainer.

However, an equally troubling question is why the usb2 bus never got 
suspended in the first place.  To solve that, you may need to enable 
dynamic debugging in the Power Management core (i.e., "file
drivers/base/power/* +p").
