The usage in ehci_resume is meant for checking whether power was lost
while the controller was suspended. This probably isn't an issue
during runtime suspend; it's likely to come up only during system
suspend. If Yuan-Hsin's platform doesn't support system suspend then
we don't have to worry about it.
