USB: EHCI: ensure all watchdog timer events are deleted when suspending usb
This patch was previously discussed in the following thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.usb.general/19472/focus=19484
On the OMAP3 device the usbhost controller is in a separate internal
power-domain. So when the usbhost is inactive or suspend is called,
we can disable clocks and power-down the usbhost to save power.
Recently we found that after calling ehci_bus_suspend() and disabling
the usbhost clocks we would see the ehci watchdog timer event fire. This
was causing a kernel panic because the usbhost controllers clocks were
disabled and inside the watchdog timer function the clocks were not
being re-enabled, so when the ehci registers were accessed this resulted
in a CPU data-abort.
To avoid this panic, per recommendation from Alan Stern (see above thread), we
make sure any pending timer events (that may have been scheduled by calling
ehci_work within the ehci_bus_suspend() function) are deleted before returning.
