Not blockers, just things to reason/discuss:

1. What is the symptoms the autosuspend in action?
2. Is there any verification we can do to test whether this is enough?

And because it is a global rule:

3. would all devices be compatible with this?
4. Could this break compatibility with any device?
5. If it can break something, how could the user revert it?

It could be useful to document these things.

This is done by the OS, I'm not sure if I follow your questions.

Linux autosuspend is a Linux kernel feature (specifically a power management mechanism) rather than a hardware-driven device function. It automatically suspends idle USB devices to save power, though it can cause issues with peripherals like mice or Bluetooth adapters.

The wifi interface stop answering, hotspot starts to have problems, external cell phone monden has problems, there is a list of complains that we received that by using autosuspend off it was fixed.
