Okay, I think the problem here is the power domain for USB controller is
off at runtime, but USB controller/PHY needs to detect the USB wakeup
signal at runtime, so the USB controller/PHY's power domain should be
not off. The proper change may keep power domain on at runtime, and the
power domain could be off at system suspend.

The controller/PHY clk could be off at runtime, it does not affect the
wakeup detecting from controll/PHY side.
