Title:
  System cannot detect USB device in BAT mode

Status in HWE Next:
  Triaged
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  On some Skylake-U platforms, if boots with battery only and has no USB
  device connect, after boot the USB port can't be used, even though the
  xHCI Host Controller doesn't report any error in dmesg. The USB device
  looks like doesn't turn on, LED on USB mouse or keyboard doesn't light
  up.

  [Fix]

  There's a fix in mainline v4.2-rc3, though it states the fix is for
  Braswell, but the uuid use in the commit can also be found on
  Skylake-U platforms.

  Commit log is as follows:

      xhci: call BIOS workaround to enable runtime suspend on Intel
  Braswell

      Intel xhci hw that require XHCI_PME_STUCK quirk have as default disabled
      xhci from going to D3 state in runtime suspend. Driver needs to verify
      it can deal with the hw by calling an ACPI _DSM method to get D3 enabled.

  [Test]

  1. Install the patched kernel
  2. Boot with battery
  3. Insert a USB device (disk, keyboard, mouse), should work normally
