+Date: October 2011

+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.
+ The vendor ID and device ID fields are required, the
+ interface class is optional.
+ 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

+ For serial USB drivers, this attribute appears under the

+ difference, all descriptions from the entry

+Description:
+ If CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND 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.
