Let's me describe more details for our hardware behavior and hope you understand.

HUB00[3]: MANUAL_REMOTE_WAKEUP
HUB00[4]: AUTO_REMOTE_WAKEUP

Set HUB00[3] implies USB device will do remote wakeup if any write command to vhub register.
Set HUB00[4] implies USB device will do remote wakeup. It can only be set in suspend state.

For current design, d->wakeup_en only controls whether HUB00[4] can be set through usb_gadget_ops.wakeup().
If some applications (take KVM as example) want to wakeup host by sending a packet, it won't go through sb_gadget_ops.wakeup().
We enable HUB00[3] to fix this problem. It won't override above mentioned behavior.
If host has enabled the USB_DEVICE_REMOTE_WAKEUP feature, it has 2 ways to wakeup host.
1. set srp 1 (/sys/device/platform/xxxxxxxxx/udc/xxxxxx/srp)
2. emulated device has activity
If host has disabled the USB_DEVICE_REMOTE_WAKEUP feature, these 2 ways still cannot wakeup host even if USB bus is in resume state.
Thanks
