It seemed to me to make sense to have a device topology runtime active
while configuring remote wakeup, but maybe there's a better way.  I
was thinking it was analogous to dev_pm_qos_update_flags().

I only want to evaluate this status in the .runtime_suspend() of the
parent device (usb port device).  When that runs I want to check the
status and leave the port active if the child device will trigger
wakeup.

Sure, I can do that.  Should be able to trigger this bug in current mainline.
