Since these are random failures, occurring at a low rate, maybe it would 
help simply to retry the transfer that timed out.  Have you tested this?

You should do something more like this:

-	else if (PMSG_IS_AUTO(msg) || usb_wakeup_enabled_descendants(udev) > 0)
-		status = set_port_feature(hub->hdev, port1,
-				USB_PORT_FEAT_SUSPEND);
-	else {
+	else if (PMSG_IS_AUTO(msg) || usb_wakeup_enabled_descendants(udev) > 0) {
+		if (hub->hdev->quirks & USB_QUIRK_NO_SUSPEND)
+			status = -EIO;
+		else
+			status = set_port_feature(hub->hdev, port1,
+					USB_PORT_FEAT_SUSPEND);
+	} else {
		really_suspend = false;
		status = 0;
	}

But I would prefer to find a way to make port suspend actually work, 
instead of giving up on it.
