There is a function wait_for_HP() in uhci-hub.c. In this

solution. And I have tested this patch, it can fix the bug.

I think there is another patch needed. As Alan said in another
mail, in the UHCI_RH_RUNNING_NODEVS case, it should not be stopped
if the uhci device is HP iLo virtual usb.
I believe that if you change the UHCI_RH_RUNNING_NODEVS case, you will
find that this patch (calling wait_for_HP) isn't needed.

In fact, the patch is so easy that I am including it below. Please
test this (without either of your patches) to see if it works.

I have tested the UHCI_RH_RUNNING_NODEVS case yeasterday, and it works.
But the function suspend_rh is also called in other places, so I think it only fixes
the warning when auto stop is called, but not fix the warning when uhci's bus_suspend
is called, it will come out again.

And if you add uhci->wait_for_hp check in the UHCI_RH_RUNNING_NODEVS case,
all hp uhci devices will not auto stop, not only the virtual devices. I guess it may waste resource.

Thanks
