Actually, no patches for it, I just make below steps manually :-).
1. set two usb2-phy into suspend mode.
2. disable 480m clock on each usb2-phy (assume only usb2-phy used it).
3. press power button let system into PM suspend.

Then, the kernel will be blocked and you can see the following log from 
console.

Hmm, do you remember that we have previously discussed there are some 
oddities in ehci/ohci driver? phy_power_on() gets called twice at 
ehci/ohci driver probe time, one is at pdata->power_on(); another is at 
usb_add_hcd(), then the power_count of phy increases to 2,  but 
phy_power_off() is just invoked one time when ehci/ohci goes to PM 
suspend, so phy->ops->power_off is never be invoked.

In this way,  the usb-phy maybe never go to suspend.

Theoretically, phy_init() will be invoked when ehci/ohci power on, and 
the sm_work will be reactivated (have already implemented) in 
phy->ops->init, but unfortunately, the same issue as phy_power_on() 
mentioned above, it never run there too .
