It won't hurt to do it for all devices, because the wait loop will
terminate as soon as the controller goes into suspend. For normal
controllers this will be on the first iteration.

Why is the delay set to 100 us? Isn't that excessively large? How
long does it take for this controller to go into suspend?

Why are these variables u16? Why not int?
Anyway, a better approach would be not to add a delay loop at all.
Instead, change this test:
if (!auto_stop && !(uhci_readw(uhci, USBSTS) & USBSTS_HCH)) {
uhci->rh_state = UHCI_RH_SUSPENDING;
spin_unlock_irq(&uhci->lock);
msleep(1);
spin_lock_irq(&uhci->lock);
if (uhci->dead)
return;
}
When the iLo controller is present, make the "if" statement always
succeed. Then you'll get a whole 1-ms delay.
