Good point. This goes together with the missing ABI documentation.
I will fix it in the v2.

I could remove it for the sake of simplicity in the first version.
If this will matter in the future we can add it then.

I found this function was called when plugging in a device into an
suspended hub. So it seemed to be the right thing to do.

OK. That needs to be locked than.

Is it with usb_autopm_get_interface and usb_autopm_put_interface?

In case the hub had only one device attached to one one port. When I
called this sysfs function on that port, the hub would suspend
afterwards. Which is probably a correct way to go for a hub with
no active devices attached.

When replacing usb_remote_wakeup with usb_autoresume_device this
works exactly the same. So I will replace it in v2.

The extra usb_autosuspend_device for the hub is probably not necessary.

Yes. I will do that in v2.

Here are two things that are in play.

First I have to set port_dev->child = NULL before calling
usb_disconnect. Otherwise the following automatic hub_suspend call (in
case this was the last operational port of the hub) will print the
message "device x-y not suspended yet" and will fail the hub to
suspend.

When calling usb_autoresume_device(udev) instead and before calling
usb_disconnect, this is no longer the case. The hub will be succesfully
suspended.

The second thing is the assignment. I still have to explicitly assign NULL to
port_dev->child. Otherwise a following enable of this port via this sysfs will
run into an hub_event with the usb_disonnect for the device on that port. But
this will spit out a ugly traceback leading with the following error:
