Ah, okay. Entering and leaving suspend even every two seconds may save noticeable power for some controllers. Does that, tho, mean that the port would get reset every two seconds? If so (I can't see how else it would behave), it may not really work. I mean, you would be spending about ten seconds reinitiaizing everything and then enter sleep and do it all over again two seconds later, most likely wasting power in the process. Sounds weird to me. What am I missing?
