Well, I'm not getting those hours of my life back.

Right after sending this message, I recalled that I used powertop to do
"auto tuning".  Sure enough, one of the lines was this:

   Good          Autosuspend for USB device UHCI Host Controller [usb6]

By disabling it, it runs this command:

  echo on > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb6/power/control

And it resolves my suspend issues on 4.20.3-gnu.

What sucks even more is that I had disabled those settings on the USB
controllers over a year ago (because it was putting my USB keyboard to
sleep, dropping the first keypress); don't know how it got re-enabled,
but the user is probably to blame.

Sorry for the noise, everyone.  I hope that my suffering provides some
value to others.

This bug can be closed.
