Yeah, I suspect this patch will not be accepted.  There are a _lot_ of 
Genesys Logic hubs out there, and apparently none of them besides the 
ones in your Odroid systems have trouble with runtime suspend.

Indeed.

Martin, here's another test you can try, on both the Odroid and PC 
systems.  Boot with usb.autosuspend=-1 on the command line to disable 
default runtime suspend.  But then before plugging in the drive, start a 
usbmon trace and do:

	echo 2 >/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2/power/autosuspend

to enable runtime suspend for the Genesys Logic hub.  (On the PC, 
replace the 1-2 with 1-5 or whatever the appropriate device path is for 
the GL hub.)

Wait at least two seconds for the hub to go into runtime suspend before 
plugging in the Corsair drive and stopping the trace.  It might turn out 
that allowing the GL hub to suspend while keeping the DWC2 root hub 
active will make a difference.

(The reason for doing this on the PC as well as on the Odroid is to make 
sure that the sequence of USB requests sent to the hub and responses 
received from it is exactly the same in both cases.)
