That makes sense to me. Does this mean we should be moving toward a
solution that doesn't wake suspended devices on close for other usb
devices, not just hid?

This particular pattern of get()/needs_remote_wakeup=0/put() on
close() appears in several other drivers, for example :
62ecae0 Input: wacom - properly enable runtime PM
5d9efc5 Input: usbtouchscreen - implement runtime power management
