+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.

+ xHCI hardware link PM
+ ---------------------
+
+xHCI host controller provides hardware link power management to usb2.0
+(xHCI 1.0 feature) and usb3.0 devices which support link PM. By
+enabling hardware LPM, the host can automatically put the device into
+lower power state(L1 for usb2.0 devices, or U1/U2 for usb3.0 devices),
+which state device can enter and resume very quickly.
+
+The user interface for controlling USB2 hardware LPM is located in the
+power/ subdirectory of each USB device's sysfs directory, that is, in
+/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/ where "..." is the device's ID. The
+relevant attribute files is usb2_hardware_lpm.
+
+ power/usb2_hardware_lpm
+
+ When a USB2 device which support LPM is plugged to a
+ xHCI host root hub which support software LPM, the
+ host will run a software LPM test for it; if the device
+ enters L1 state and resume successfully and the host
+ supports USB2 hardware LPM, this file will show up and
+ driver will enable hardware LPM for the device. You
+ can write y/Y/1 or n/N/0 to the file to enable/disable
+ USB2 hardware LPM manually. This is for test purpose mainly.
