udev->do_remote_wakeup is set in choose_wakeup() in
drivers/usb/core/driver.c.  AFAICS it is always set as long as
device_may_wakeup(&udev->dev) is true.

But I am just trying to get a grasp of this code.  Others on the
linux-usb list will know these things much better than me...

Just a thought: Did you remember to remove the clear_feature you have in
resume?
