You're missing the point. There's no reason ever to call
usb_hcd_resume_root_hub() immediately after usb_add_hcd(). The hub
driver does everything necessary when the root hub is registered.
Resuming it (if it is suspended at that point) won't accomplish
anything because all the important work has just been done.

Now, if you _weren't_ calling usb_add_hcd() (for example if host.is_otg
were 0) then it might make sense to call usb_hcd_resume_root_hub() --
although I don't see why you would need to.
