I am starting to wonder why the USB core has combined system suspend and
runtime suspend if we are going to end up with every driver testing
PMSG_IS_AUTO(message) and selecting a completely different code path.

You are right that we will end up with problems if usbnet_resume is
called for a device usbnet hasn't suspended.  But I'd still claim that
is a bug in the USB core, which is the one that decided to ignore the
suspend error and still call resume.

I guess proper error handling here require the USB core to see the
interface driver as dead if it fails to suspend on system suspend, and
do forced rebinding on resume.

I am not going to fight this any longer.  The per-driver
PMSG_IS_AUTO(message) testing is an ugly workround for a core problem,
but they are already all over the place...  Still, please make sure the
drivers all return 0 if they are pretending to suspend. No error code
return if the driver ignores the error.
