The current USB gadget driver behaviour is to stop the controller
and disconnect from the bus during System sleep.

The 'snps,gadget-keep-connect-sys-sleep' property can be used to
change this behaviour and keep the controller active and connected
to the bus during System sleep. This is useful for applications
that want to enter a low power state when USB is suspended but
remain connected so they can resume activity on USB resume.

This feature introduces a new constraint if Gadget driver is connected
to USB host: i.e.  the gadget must be in USB suspend state to allow
a System sleep as we cannot process any USB transactions
when in System sleep.

The system hardware is responsible to detect the end of USB suspend
and wake up the system so we can begin processing the USB transactions
as soon as possible.

Yes.

This is not DWC3 specific. 

Should we make this a UDC class device's sysfs attribute instead?
Only concern is that in dual-role case, if a role switch from
device mode to host mode and back to device mode happens, we loose
the UDC device's attributes as we re-init the UDC device.

Or should we make it a udc_core module parameter? This should be
persistent between role switches.

Got it. Will avoid using it ;)
