Which version of powertop are you actually using? None of current
versions would show you Watt usage for devices.
you can use "watch grep . *" instead and check fallowing fields:
runtime_suspended_time - suspend time. If it is growing device is suspended
runtime_active_kids - if not zero, some program use it
control - if "on" then autosuspend is disabled.
