[PATCH] USB: Avoid PM error messages during resume if a device was disconnected

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Frans Pop <elendil@xxxxxxxxx>

Currently if a laptop is suspended e.g. while docked and then resumed after
undocking it, the following errors get generated because the USB hub in the
docking station and the devices connected to it are no longer available:
pm_op(): usb_dev_resume+0x0/0x10 returns -19
PM: Device 1-2 failed to resume: error -19
pm_op(): usb_dev_resume+0x0/0x10 returns -19
PM: Device 1-2.2 failed to resume: error -19
pm_op(): usb_dev_resume+0x0/0x10 returns -19
PM: Device 1-2.3 failed to resume: error -19

As the removal of USB devices while a system is suspended is a relatively
common use case and in most cases not an error, just return success on
-ENODEV. The user gets informed anyway as the USB subsystem generates
regular disconnect messages for the devices shortly afterwards:
usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 3
usb 1-2.2: USB disconnect, address 4
usblp0: removed
usb 1-2.3: USB disconnect, address 5

Hi Greg,

I can take this patch to the suspend tree, but if you think it should go
through USB, please consider including it into the 2.6.31 push.

Best,
Rafael
