    OHCI: Allow broken controllers to auto-stop

    commit 4a511bc3f5829bc18428bcf11c25417a79d09396 upstream

    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.)
