[PATCH] Add power management op for RNDIS host

From: Shaoxu Liu <hidden>
Date: 2026-05-27 08:24:25
Also in: linux-usb, lkml
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest, usb networking drivers · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

RNDIS host does not manage the USB power, and it will
cause more power consumption even when no data transferring.

Adding the power management operator will make the USB
enter suspend mode when no data transferring.
