Hi Hans,

And Do we need to call usb_disable_autosuspend() in the disconnect()? like below:

Before the btusb_probe() is called, the usb device is autosuspend disabled, suppose users set the btusb.enable_autosuspend=1, the driver btusb will enable the autosuspend on this device. If users remove this driver, the disconnect() will be called, the usb device will keep autosuspend enabled. Next time if users reload this driver by 'sudo modprobe  btusb enalbe_autosuspend=0',  they will find the device is autosuspend enabled instead of disabled.

The problem with calling usb_disable_autosuspend() is that the auto-suspend setting is a bool,
rather then a counter, so if a udev-rule or the user manually through e.g. :

echo auto > /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-10/power/control

Has enabled autosuspend then we would be disabling it, which is undesirable.

Most USB drivers which have some way of enabling autosuspend by-default
(IOW which call usb_enable_autosuspend()) simply enable it at the end
of a successful probe and leave it as is on remove.

Also keep in mind that remove normally runs on unplug of the device, in
which case it does not matter as the device is going away.

If a user wants to disable autosuspend after loading the btusb module,
the correct way to do this is by simply running e.g. :

echo on > /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-10/power/control

Rather then rmmod-ing and insmod-ing the module with a different module-param value.

then lets remove the module parameter from btusb.ko.

The module parameter is useful to make sure runtime-suspend never gets
enabled starting from boot onwards, either through the kernel cmdline
or through modprobe.conf settings.

Also the module parameter is used to implement CONFIG_BT_HCIBTUSB_AUTOSUSPEND
Kconfig option which sets the default value for the module param;
and most distros enable that option since it having autosuspend enabled
is the right thing to do in almost all cases.

Actually in case we are connected we should probably disable
autosuspend as some BT controllers don't seem to be able to transmit
any data back to the host if the connection stays idle long enough to
trigger auto suspend.

Regards,

Hans
