What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/autosuspend
Date: March 2007
KernelVersion: 2.6.21
Contact: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
Description:
Each USB device directory will contain a file named
power/autosuspend. This file holds the time (in seconds)
the device must be idle before it will be autosuspended.
0 means the device will be autosuspended as soon as
possible. Negative values will prevent the device from
being autosuspended at all, and writing a negative value
will resume the device if it is already suspended.
The autosuspend delay for newly-created devices is set to
the value of the usbcore.autosuspend module parameter.
What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/level
Date: March 2007
KernelVersion: 2.6.21
Contact: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
Description:
Each USB device directory will contain a file named
power/level. This file holds a power-level setting for
the device, either "on" or "auto".
"on" means that the device is not allowed to autosuspend,
although normal suspends for system sleep will still
be honored. "auto" means the device will autosuspend
and autoresume in the usual manner, according to the
capabilities of its driver.
During normal use, devices should be left in the "auto"
level. The "on" level is meant for administrative uses.
If you want to suspend a device immediately but leave it
free to wake up in response to I/O requests, you should
write "0" to power/autosuspend.
Device not capable of proper suspend and resume should be
left in the "on" level. Although the USB spec requires
devices to support suspend/resume, many of them do not.
In fact so many don't that by default, the USB core
initializes all non-hub devices in the "on" level. Some
drivers may change this setting when they are bound.
What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/persist
Date: May 2007
KernelVersion: 2.6.23
Contact: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
Description:
If CONFIG_USB_PERSIST is set, then each USB device directory
will contain a file named power/persist. The file holds a
boolean value (0 or 1) indicating whether or not the
"USB-Persist" facility is enabled for the device. Since the
facility is inherently dangerous, it is disabled by default
for all devices except hubs. For more information, see
Documentation/usb/persist.txt.
What: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../power/connected_duration
Date: January 2008
KernelVersion: 2.6.25
Contact: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@intel.com>
Description:
If CONFIG_PM and CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND are enabled, then this file
is present. When read, it returns the total time (in msec)
that the USB device has been connected to the machine. This
file is read-only.

What: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../power/active_duration
Date: January 2008
KernelVersion: 2.6.25
Contact: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@intel.com>
Description:
If CONFIG_PM and CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND are enabled, then this file
is present. When read, it returns the total time (in msec)
that the USB device has been active, i.e. not in a suspended
state. This file is read-only.
Tools can use this file and the connected_duration file to
compute the percentage of time that a device has been active.
For example,
echo $((100 * `cat active_duration` / `cat connected_duration`))
will give an integer percentage. Note that this does not
account for counter wrap.

What: /sys/bus/usb/device/<busnum>-<devnum>...:<config num>-<interface num>/supports_autosuspend
Date: January 2008
KernelVersion: 2.6.27
Contact: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@intel.com>
Description:
When read, this file returns 1 if the interface driver
for this interface supports autosuspend. It also
returns 1 if no driver has claimed this interface, as an
unclaimed interface will not stop the device from being
autosuspended if all other interface drivers are idle.
The file returns 0 if autosuspend support has not been
added to the driver.

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.

Date: July 2008

Description:

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.

Description:

Write a 1 to force the device to disconnect
(equivalent to unplugging a wired USB device).
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
What: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../avoid_reset_quirk
Date: December 2009
Contact: Oliver Neukum <oliver@neukum.org>
Description:
Writing 1 to this file tells the kernel that this
device will morph into another mode when it is reset.
Drivers will not use reset for error handling for
such devices.
