Of course.

But does it make a difference on _any_ machine?
There is a good reason for asking this question. The "auto-stopp" mechanism in uhci-hcd was intended to be a temporary measure. It isn't needed now that we have runtime PM. Adding a patch just to make it work on a few systems doesn't seem worthwhile -- we would be better off removing it entirely.
