Yup.. I looked up the timers in the OTG spec and they are described
in chapter "8.5.5.2" as a_wait_bcon_tmo or a_wait_bcon_tmr. But
I could not find any values for them.

Anyways, clearly we want things working with real devices :)

Yeh and it seems PM still works with the $subject patch also for
host mode. So maybe that's enough to fix the issue.

Also I don't have any idea why for ages we have been writing
0 to devctl there.. Maybe we've had a bug there that only now
shows up when we idle things.

Anyways, for the $subject patch related to MUSB runtime PM:
