Dealing nicely with PM failure

Hi,

this question about the smsc devices gave me an idea.
How about this?

Subject: [PATCH] usbnet: handle PM failure gracefully

If a device fails to do remote wakeup, this is no reason
to abort an open totally. This patch just continues without
runtime PM.

Did you mean to change the return value in the successful case? This
used to return 0 on a successful call to info->manage_power(dev, 1).
This patch changes that - perhaps it's still the same (if retval is set
above).

It is a good idea to handle remote wakeup failure, but I am wondering
if it is suitable to apply it on current smsc problem because we know
in advance if these devices can support auto suspend.
