OHCI: Allow broken controllers to auto-stop
This patch (as1134) attempts to improve the way we handle OHCI
controllers with broken Root Hub Status Change interrupt support. In
these controllers the RHSC interrupt bit essentially never turns off,
making RHSC interrupts useless -- they have to remain permanently
disabled.
Such controllers should still be allowed to turn off their root hubs
when no devices are attached. Polling for new connections can
continue while the root hub is suspended. The patch implements this
feature. (It won't have much effect unless CONFIG_PM is enabled and
CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND is disabled, but since the overhead is very small
we may as well do it.)
