No; that section refers only to races, not to wakeup settings.

This is because the root hub was runtime suspended with the wrong
wakeup setting. The USB core, which is careful about these things,
resumed and re-suspended it with the proper wakeup setting. In the
process, the controller had to be runtime resumed as well.

Try doing the test over again, but this time with the root hub enabled
for wakeup and the controller disabled. (I know this is a bizarre
combination, but try it anyway.) Also, after the system wakes up, see
whether the root hub and controller get runtime suspended.

Yes, this is applicable, but it is irrelevant to the problem I
described. You still have to tell the runtime PM core that the device
is now active.
