+What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/INTERFACE/authorized
+Date: August 2015
+Description:
+ This allows to authorize (1) or deauthorize (0)
+ individual interfaces instead a whole device
+ in contrast to the device authorization.
+ If a deauthorized interface will be authorized
+ so the driver probing must be triggered manually
+ by writing INTERFACE to /sys/bus/usb/drivers_probe
+ This allows to avoid side-effects with drivers
+ that need multiple interfaces.
+ A deauthorized interface cannot be probed or claimed.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/usbX/interface_authorized_default
+Date: August 2015
+Description:
+ This is used as value that determines if interfaces
+ would be authorized by default.
+ The value can be 1 or 0. It's by default 1.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../authorized
+Date: July 2008
+KernelVersion: 2.6.26
+Contact: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@csr.com>
+Description:
+ Authorized devices are available for use by device
+ drivers, non-authorized one are not. By default, wired
+ USB devices are authorized.
+
+ Certified Wireless USB devices are not authorized
+ initially and should be (by writing 1) after the
+ device has been authenticated.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../wusb_cdid
+Date: July 2008
+KernelVersion: 2.6.27

+Description:
+ For Certified Wireless USB devices only.
+
+ A devices's CDID, as 16 space-separated hex octets.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../wusb_ck
+Date: July 2008
+KernelVersion: 2.6.27
+Contact: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@csr.com>
+Description:
+ For Certified Wireless USB devices only.
+
+ Write the device's connection key (CK) to start the
+ authentication of the device. The CK is 16
+ space-separated hex octets.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../wusb_disconnect
+Date: July 2008
+KernelVersion: 2.6.27
+Contact: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@csr.com>
+Description:
+ For Certified Wireless USB devices only.
+
+ Write a 1 to force the device to disconnect
+ (equivalent to unplugging a wired USB device).
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/drivers/.../new_id
+Date: October 2011
+Contact: linux-usb@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+ Writing a device ID to this file will attempt to
+ dynamically add a new device ID to a USB device driver.
+ This may allow the driver to support more hardware than
+ was included in the driver's static device ID support
+ table at compile time. The format for the device ID is:
+ idVendor idProduct bInterfaceClass RefIdVendor RefIdProduct
+ The vendor ID and device ID fields are required, the
+ rest is optional. The Ref* tuple can be used to tell the
+ driver to use the same driver_data for the new device as
+ it is used for the reference device.
+ Upon successfully adding an ID, the driver will probe
+ for the device and attempt to bind to it. For example:
+ # echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/new_id
+
+ Here add a new device (0458:7045) using driver_data from
+ an already supported device (0458:704c):
+ # echo "0458 7045 0 0458 704c" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/new_id
+
+ Reading from this file will list all dynamically added
+ device IDs in the same format, with one entry per
+ line. For example:
+ # cat /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/new_id
+ 8086 10f5
+ dead beef 06
+ f00d cafe
+
+ The list will be truncated at PAGE_SIZE bytes due to
+ sysfs restrictions.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/.../new_id
+Date: October 2011
+Contact: linux-usb@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+ For serial USB drivers, this attribute appears under the
+ extra bus folder "usb-serial" in sysfs; apart from that
+ difference, all descriptions from the entry
+ "/sys/bus/usb/drivers/.../new_id" apply.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/drivers/.../remove_id
+Date: November 2009
+Contact: CHENG Renquan <rqcheng@smu.edu.sg>
+Description:
+ Writing a device ID to this file will remove an ID
+ that was dynamically added via the new_id sysfs entry.
+ The format for the device ID is:
+ idVendor idProduct. After successfully
+ removing an ID, the driver will no longer support the
+ device. This is useful to ensure auto probing won't
+ match the driver to the device. For example:
+ # echo "046d c315" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/remove_id
+
+ Reading from this file will list the dynamically added
+ device IDs, exactly like reading from the entry
+ "/sys/bus/usb/drivers/.../new_id"
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/usb2_hardware_lpm
+Date: September 2011
+Contact: Andiry Xu <andiry.xu@amd.com>
+Description:
+ If CONFIG_PM is set and a USB 2.0 lpm-capable device is plugged
+ in to a xHCI host which support link PM, it will perform a LPM
+ test; if the test is passed and host supports USB2 hardware LPM
+ (xHCI 1.0 feature), USB2 hardware LPM will be enabled for the
+ device and the USB device directory will contain a file named
+ power/usb2_hardware_lpm. The file holds a string value (enable
+ or disable) indicating whether or not USB2 hardware LPM is
+ enabled for the device. Developer can write y/Y/1 or n/N/0 to
+ the file to enable/disable the feature.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/usb3_hardware_lpm_u1
+ /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/usb3_hardware_lpm_u2
+Date: November 2015
+Contact: Kevin Strasser <kevin.strasser@linux.intel.com>
+ Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@linux.intel.com>
+Description:
+ If CONFIG_PM is set and a USB 3.0 lpm-capable device is plugged
+ in to a xHCI host which supports link PM, it will check if U1
+ and U2 exit latencies have been set in the BOS descriptor; if
+ the check is passed and the host supports USB3 hardware LPM,
+ USB3 hardware LPM will be enabled for the device and the USB
+ device directory will contain two files named
+ power/usb3_hardware_lpm_u1 and power/usb3_hardware_lpm_u2. These
+ files hold a string value (enable or disable) indicating whether
+ or not USB3 hardware LPM U1 or U2 is enabled for the device.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../removable
+Date: February 2012
+Contact: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>
+Description:
+ Some information about whether a given USB device is
+ physically fixed to the platform can be inferred from a
+ combination of hub descriptor bits and platform-specific data
+ such as ACPI. This file will read either "removable" or
+ "fixed" if the information is available, and "unknown"
+ otherwise.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../ltm_capable
+Date: July 2012
+Contact: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com>
+Description:
+ USB 3.0 devices may optionally support Latency Tolerance
+ Messaging (LTM). They indicate their support by setting a bit
+ in the bmAttributes field of their SuperSpeed BOS descriptors.
+ If that bit is set for the device, ltm_capable will read "yes".
+ If the device doesn't support LTM, the file will read "no".
+ The file will be present for all speeds of USB devices, and will
+ always read "no" for USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../(hub interface)/portX
+Date: August 2012
+Contact: Lan Tianyu <tianyu.lan@intel.com>
+Description:
+ The /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../(hub interface)/portX
+ is usb port device's sysfs directory.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../(hub interface)/portX/connect_type
+Date: January 2013
+Contact: Lan Tianyu <tianyu.lan@intel.com>
+Description:
+ Some platforms provide usb port connect types through ACPI.
+ This attribute is to expose these information to user space.
+ The file will read "hotplug", "wired" and "not used" if the
+ information is available, and "unknown" otherwise.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../(hub interface)/portX/quirks
+Date: May 2018
+Contact: Nicolas Boichat <drinkcat@chromium.org>
+Description:
+ In some cases, we care about time-to-active for devices
+ connected on a specific port (e.g. non-standard USB port like
+ pogo pins), where the device to be connected is known in
+ advance, and behaves well according to the specification.
+ This attribute is a bit-field that controls the behavior of
+ a specific port:
+ - Bit 0 of this field selects the "old" enumeration scheme,
+ as it is considerably faster (it only causes one USB reset
+ instead of 2).
+ The old enumeration scheme can also be selected globally
+ using /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/old_scheme_first, but
+ it is often not desirable as the new scheme was introduced to
+ increase compatibility with more devices.
+ - Bit 1 reduces TRSTRCY to the 10 ms that are required by the
+ USB 2.0 specification, instead of the 50 ms that are normally
+ used to help make enumeration work better on some high speed
+ devices.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../(hub interface)/portX/over_current_count
+Date: February 2018
+Contact: Richard Leitner <richard.leitner@skidata.com>
+Description:
+ Most hubs are able to detect over-current situations on their
+ ports and report them to the kernel. This attribute is to expose
+ the number of over-current situation occurred on a specific port
+ to user space. This file will contain an unsigned 32 bit value
+ which wraps to 0 after its maximum is reached.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../(hub interface)/portX/usb3_lpm_permit
+Date: November 2015
+Contact: Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@linux.intel.com>
+Description:
+ Some USB3.0 devices are not friendly to USB3 LPM. usb3_lpm_permit
+ attribute allows enabling/disabling usb3 lpm of a port. It takes
+ effect both before and after a usb device is enumerated. Supported
+ values are "0" if both u1 and u2 are NOT permitted, "u1" if only u1
+ is permitted, "u2" if only u2 is permitted, "u1_u2" if both u1 and
+ u2 are permitted.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/usb2_lpm_l1_timeout
+Date: May 2013
+Contact: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@linux.intel.com>
+Description:
+ USB 2.0 devices may support hardware link power management (LPM)
+ L1 sleep state. The usb2_lpm_l1_timeout attribute allows
+ tuning the timeout for L1 inactivity timer (LPM timer), e.g.
+ needed inactivity time before host requests the device to go to L1 sleep.
+ Useful for power management tuning.
+ Supported values are 0 - 65535 microseconds.
+
+What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/usb2_lpm_besl
+Date: May 2013
+Contact: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@linux.intel.com>
+Description:
+ USB 2.0 devices that support hardware link power management (LPM)
+ L1 sleep state now use a best effort service latency value (BESL) to
+ indicate the best effort to resumption of service to the device after the
+ initiation of the resume event.
+ If the device does not have a preferred besl value then the host can select
+ one instead. This usb2_lpm_besl attribute allows to tune the host selected besl
+ value in order to tune power saving and service latency.
+
+ Supported values are 0 - 15.
+ More information on how besl values map to microseconds can be found in
+ USB 2.0 ECN Errata for Link Power Management, section 4.10)

+Date: March 2018
+Contact: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@linux.intel.com>
+Description:
+ Number of rx lanes the device is using.
+ USB 3.2 adds Dual-lane support, 2 rx and 2 tx lanes over Type-C.
+ Inter-Chip SSIC devices support asymmetric lanes up to 4 lanes per
+ direction. Devices before USB 3.2 are single lane (rx_lanes = 1)
