[PATCH][RFC] usbhid: enable autosuspend for internal devices

From: Tom Gundersen
Date: Fri Jun 26 2015 - 15:24:33 EST


This policy used to be unconditionally applied by udev, but there
is no reason to make userspace be involved in this and in the future
udev will not be doing it by default.

See: <https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/353>.

Hi,

I don't have the right hardware for this, so it has only been compile-tested.
I'm therefore sending it as an RFC only. Mainly I want to bring it to people's
attention that it would be great to get this feature into the kernel as we want
to drop it from udev.

Cheers,

Tom
