commit 6fb650d43da3e7054984dc548eaa88765a94d49f upstream.

When a USB driver is bound to an interface (either through probing or
by claiming it) or is unbound from an interface, the USB core always
disables Link Power Management during the transition and then
re-enables it afterward.  The reason is because the driver might want
to prevent hub-initiated link power transitions, in which case the HCD
would have to recalculate the various LPM parameters.  This
recalculation takes place when LPM is re-enabled and the new
parameters are sent to the device and its parent hub.

However, if the driver does not want to prevent hub-initiated link
power transitions then none of this work is necessary.  The parameters
don't need to be recalculated, and LPM doesn't need to be disabled and
re-enabled.

It turns out that disabling and enabling LPM can be time-consuming,
enough so that it interferes with user programs that want to claim and
release interfaces rapidly via usbfs.  Since the usbfs kernel driver
doesn't set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag, we can speed things up
and get the user programs to work by leaving LPM alone whenever the
flag isn't set.

And while we're improving the way disable_hub_initiated_lpm gets used,
let's also fix its kerneldoc.

commit 9be427efc764464fbcbc1ca3f0d34f575cb0f037 upstream.

This reverts commit e3345db85068ddb937fc0ba40dfc39c293dad977, which
broke system resume for a large class of devices.

Devices that after having been reset during resume need to be rebound
due to a missing reset_resume callback, are now left in a suspended
state. This specifically broke resume of common USB-serial devices,
which are now unusable after system suspend (until disconnected and
reconnected) when USB persist is enabled.

During resume, usb_resume_interface will set the needs_binding flag for
such interfaces, but unlike system resume, run-time resume does not
honour it.

On BXT platform Host Controller and Device Controller figure as
same PCI device but with different device function. HCD should
not pass data to Device Controller but only to Host Controllers.
Checking if companion device is Host Controller, otherwise skip.

commit 264904ccc33c604d4b3141bbd33808152dfac45b upstream.

Some devices I got show an inability to operate right after
power on if they are already connected. They are beyond recovery
if the descriptors are requested multiple times. So in case of
a timeout we rather bail early and reset again. But it must be
done only on the first loop lest we get into a reset/time out
spiral that can be overcome with a retry.

This patch is a rework of a patch that fell through the cracks.

In function usb_reset_and_verify_device, the old BOS descriptor may
still be used before allocating a new one. (usb_unlocked_disable_lpm
function uses it under the situation that it fails to disable lpm.)
So we cannot set the udev-&gt;bos to NULL before that, just keep what it
was. It will be overwrite when allocating a new one.

<content type='text'>
Pull more power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This includes fixes on top of the previous batch of PM+ACPI updates
  and some new material as well.

  From the new material perspective the most significant are the driver
  core changes that should allow USB devices to stay suspended over
  system suspend/resume cycles if they have been runtime-suspended
  already beforehand.  Apart from that, ACPICA is updated to upstream
  revision 20160108 (cosmetic mostly, but including one fixup on top of
  the previous ACPICA update) and there are some devfreq updates the
  didn't make it before (due to timing).

  A few recent regressions are fixed, most importantly in the cpuidle
  menu governor and in the ACPI backlight driver and some x86 platform
  drivers depending on it.

  Some more bugs are fixed and cleanups are made on top of that.

  Specifics:

   - Modify the driver core and the USB subsystem to allow USB devices
     to stay suspended over system suspend/resume cycles if they have
     been runtime-suspended already beforehand and fix some bugs on top
     of these changes (Tomeu Vizoso, Rafael Wysocki).

   - Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20160108, including updates of
     the ACPICA's copyright notices, a code fixup resulting from a
     regression fix that was necessary in the upstream code only (the
     regression fixed by it has never been present in Linux) and a
     compiler warning fix (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).

   - Fix a recent regression in the cpuidle menu governor that broke it
     on practically all architectures other than x86 and make a couple
     of optimizations on top of that fix (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Clean up the selection of cpuidle governors depending on whether or
     not the kernel is configured for tickless systems (Jean Delvare).

   - Revert a recent commit that introduced a regression in the ACPI
     backlight driver, address the problem it attempted to fix in a
     different way and revert one more cosmetic change depending on the
     problematic commit (Hans de Goede).

   - Add two more ACPI backlight quirks (Hans de Goede).

   - Fix a few minor problems in the core devfreq code, clean it up a
     bit and update the MAINTAINERS information related to it (Chanwoo
     Choi, MyungJoo Ham).

   - Improve an error message in the ACPI fan driver (Andy Lutomirski).

   - Fix a recent build regression in the cpupower tool (Shreyas
     Prabhu)"

Pull more power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This includes fixes on top of the previous batch of PM+ACPI updates
  and some new material as well.

  From the new material perspective the most significant are the driver
  core changes that should allow USB devices to stay suspended over
  system suspend/resume cycles if they have been runtime-suspended
  already beforehand.  Apart from that, ACPICA is updated to upstream
  revision 20160108 (cosmetic mostly, but including one fixup on top of
  the previous ACPICA update) and there are some devfreq updates the
  didn't make it before (due to timing).

  A few recent regressions are fixed, most importantly in the cpuidle
  menu governor and in the ACPI backlight driver and some x86 platform
  drivers depending on it.

  Some more bugs are fixed and cleanups are made on top of that.

  Specifics:

   - Modify the driver core and the USB subsystem to allow USB devices
     to stay suspended over system suspend/resume cycles if they have
     been runtime-suspended already beforehand and fix some bugs on top
     of these changes (Tomeu Vizoso, Rafael Wysocki).

   - Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20160108, including updates of
     the ACPICA's copyright notices, a code fixup resulting from a
     regression fix that was necessary in the upstream code only (the
     regression fixed by it has never been present in Linux) and a
     compiler warning fix (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).

   - Fix a recent regression in the cpuidle menu governor that broke it
     on practically all architectures other than x86 and make a couple
     of optimizations on top of that fix (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Clean up the selection of cpuidle governors depending on whether or
     not the kernel is configured for tickless systems (Jean Delvare).

   - Revert a recent commit that introduced a regression in the ACPI
     backlight driver, address the problem it attempted to fix in a
     different way and revert one more cosmetic change depending on the
     problematic commit (Hans de Goede).

   - Add two more ACPI backlight quirks (Hans de Goede).

   - Fix a few minor problems in the core devfreq code, clean it up a
     bit and update the MAINTAINERS information related to it (Chanwoo
     Choi, MyungJoo Ham).

   - Improve an error message in the ACPI fan driver (Andy Lutomirski).

   - Fix a recent build regression in the cpupower tool (Shreyas
     Prabhu)"
