Hi Alan,

in case the platform kills the power to the USB lines, we can never do anything about this. I do not want to hack around this in the driver.

What are the cases where we should implement reset_resume and would it really help here. Since the btusb.ko driver implements suspend/resume support, would reset_resume ever be called?

However I get the feeling someone needs to go back and see if the device is the same one and just gets probed again or if it is a new one from the USB host stack perspective.

Regards

Marcel
