I'm glad that solved your problem. I am very broke right now. So that
was the quick fix I did because of the number of bug reports. We should
have a way to handle the removal of that stale config file.

I really do not have an answer to this question. This is perhaps
something the kernel devs (or the hardware devs) should answer.

There are other ways to blacklist. Like blacklisting the modules. You
may want to explore those options. Otherwise, if you have an opinion,
let me know.  I will consider it.

The thing about USB power saving is that it is a tradeoff in between how
much flexibility you want, and how much power you'd like to save.
