usb: dwc3: Keep the host bus suspended, not torn down, across suspend-to-id=
le

This commit skips tearing down the DWC3 core in host mode during
suspend-to-idle when full reinitialization is not required, and marks the
device as being on the awake path to keep its power domain active.

[Severity: High]
Does skipping dwc3_core_exit() in PM_SUSPEND_TO_IDLE break parent glue
drivers that reset or power down the hardware in their own .suspend()
callbacks?

Parent glue drivers that populate a child snps,dwc3 device via
of_platform_populate() bind it to dwc3_probe(), where needs_full_reinit is
false.  During PM_SUSPEND_TO_IDLE, device .suspend() callbacks still run:
for example, dwc3_of_simple_suspend() asserts simple->resets when
simple->need_reset is set (such as on rockchip,rk3399-dwc3),
dwc3_meson_g12a_suspend() powers off and exits the PHYs before pulsing
reset on resume, and dwc3_exynos_suspend() disables the vdd33/vdd10
regulators.

Because dwc3_suspend_common() now leaves host_core_exited as false on
those platforms, dwc3_resume_common() skips dwc3_core_init_for_resume()
and dwc3_set_prtcap() and passes power_lost =3D false to xhci-plat after the
parent glue driver has reset or power-cycled the controller, leaving the
host controller uninitialized.

[Severity: High]
Does dwc3_google_suspend() also need to check !google->dwc.host_core_exited
instead of device_may_wakeup()?

drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-google.c:dwc3_google_suspend() {
	if (google->dwc.current_dr_role =3D=3D DWC3_GCTL_PRTCAP_HOST) {
		/*
		 * Follow dwc3_suspend_common() guidelines for deciding between
		 * a full teardown and hibernation.
		 */
		if (PMSG_IS_AUTO(msg) || device_may_wakeup(google->dev)) {
			...
			return 0;
		}
	}

	reset_control_bulk_assert(google->num_rsts, google->rsts);
	clk_bulk_disable_unprepare(google->num_clks, google->clks);
}

When wakeup is disabled during PM_SUSPEND_TO_IDLE, dwc3_suspend_common()
now keeps the core active and sets host_core_exited to false, but
dwc3_google_suspend() still falls through and asserts google->rsts.  On
resume, dwc3_google_resume() deasserts the resets and dwc3_resume_common()
sees host_core_exited =3D=3D false, skipping dwc3_core_init_for_resume() and
dwc3_set_prtcap() on a reset controller.

[Severity: High]
What happens on SoCs where the DWC3 power domain does not set
GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP?

drivers/pmdomain/core.c:genpd_finish_suspend() {
	if (device_awake_path(dev) && genpd_is_active_wakeup(genpd) &&
	    !device_out_band_wakeup(dev))
		return 0;
	...
	genpd_sync_power_off(genpd, true, 0);
}

genpd_finish_suspend() still runs during PM_SUSPEND_TO_IDLE and only
honors device_awake_path() when the domain sets GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP.
On platforms whose DWC3 power domain does not set that flag (for example,
RK3568_PD_PIPE on RK3566/RK3568, where usb_host0_xhci and usb_host1_xhci
bind to dwc3_probe() with needs_full_reinit =3D=3D false), genpd still stops
clocks and powers off the domain during suspend-to-idle, and
dwc3_resume_common() then skips dwc3_core_init_for_resume() because
host_core_exited is false.
