Of course.

But does it make a difference on _any_ machine?

There is a good reason for asking this question.  The "auto-stopp"  
mechanism in uhci-hcd was intended to be a temporary measure.  It isn't
needed now that we have runtime PM.  Adding a patch just to make it 
work on a few systems doesn't seem worthwhile -- we would be better off 
removing it entirely.
