It works the other way, too. There are all sorts of input devices (keyboard, mouse, joystick, ...) each needing different rules about when it has been inactive long enough to suspend. The input layer understands them, whereas the USB, PS/2, serial, etc. layers shouldn't have to. One approach would be to add a function callback pointer to the input device structure for autosuspend requests. The transport layer would then be responsible for handling these callbacks and carrying out the suspend.
