We are seeing an additional delay of around ~0.7 sec (in chromebooks running on SC7280) in the wakeup path for re-enumeration of connected USB devices. To avoid this, we wanted to put GDSC in retention during PM suspend.

The fundamental issue here is that state is lost during suspend which
the driver doesn't currently (or can not) restore. Doesn't hurt to
mention the specific consequences you list above as well.

What would be the problem when using the controller in peripheral mode?
Don't you want to retain the controller state when suspended also in
that case?
