SRU justification:

Impact: The USB-PERSIST feature (0458d5b4c9cc4ca0f62625d0144ddc4b4bc97a3c) lets USB mounted filesystems remain intact (the USB device not removed) during power loss. This is important for small machines that have their root fs on a USB device. However this did not work in all cases.

Fix: A patch (5e6effaed6da94e727cd45f945ad2489af8570b3) that followed later fixed the persist problem to work on all sleep states instead of supporting only those where the hub lost power.

Testcase: Suspend fails on the classmate PC without this patch.
