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, one of "on", "auto", or "suspend".

		"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.  "suspend" means the device
		is forced into a suspended state and it will not autoresume
		in response to I/O requests.  However remote-wakeup requests
		from the device may still be enabled (the remote-wakeup
		setting is controlled separately by the power/wakeup
		attribute).

		During normal use, devices should be left in the "auto"
		level.  The other levels are 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.
