USB: add power/persist device attribute
This patch (as920) adds an extra level of protection to the USB-Persist facility. Now it will apply by default only to hubs; for all other devices the user must enable it explicitly by setting the power/persist device attribute. The disconnect_all_children() routine in hub.c has been removed and its code placed inline. This is the way it was originally as part of hub_pre_reset(); the revised usage in hub_reset_resume() is sufficiently different that the code can no longer be shared. Likewise, mark_children_for_reset() is now inline as part of hub_reset_resume(). The end result looks much cleaner than before. The sysfs interface is updated to add the new attribute file, and there are corresponding documentation updates.

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.
