Sorry, in my snip frenzy I forgot to reply to some
parts:) Yes, well I'll see what happens with OPT and post
some results.

I guess HNP should be offered for peripherals even if not
on whitelist, but only peripherals on whitelist (with HNP
or not) should be allowed.

Yeh I guess in that case it needs to wait for autosuspend
until #1 is done.
But if #2 is not on whitelist and can do HNP, then
it just gets rejected and never gets it's HNP opportunity.
Hmmm...
