Maybe, but for now this way is easier.  There are technical difficulties
with resetting a device during autoresume (the necessary lock is not
guaranteed to be held).  We could work around that issue and add a
separate USB_QUIRK_RESET_ON_RESUME, but I'm not sure to what extent it
will be necessary.

I went back and retested my USB keypad, the one that didn't like to 
resume.  For whatever reason, it now seems to be okay -- I don't know what 
has changed.  This leads me to wonder how many devices really will need to 
be reset following a resume.  It might be too few to worry about.

In fact, it might even be that other devices of the same type as yours
don't need it.  That is, you could be suffering from a flaw in that one
particular device as opposed to a design bug.
