You know, I believe these races would go away if we could delay port pm runtime activation until after the initial discovery of the entire hub topology. One potential way of solving this is to proceed with converting khubd to a workqueue. Then, we could use a properly placed drain_workqueue() to flush the chain of khubd discovery events to completion.
