Since alan suggested we should start simpler version(power

also should provide general power off mechanism.
I have a proposal.
first: add portx_power_control sys file.
echo "auto" => portx_power_control
check whether there is a device. if no, send the clear
USB_PORT_FEAT_POWER request. (since general way
to control port power is via set or clear PORT_POWER)
echo "on" => portx_power_control
send the set USB_PORT_FEAT_POWER request.
No "off"?
Yeah, we probably need an "off" for those libusb and ModemManager
developers who want to try and simulate a disconnect of a misbehaving
device.

Ok. Let me reconfirm the meaning of these opinions.
"auto"
if port without device, turn off power directly.
if port with device, turn off power when the device is suspended.
"on" the port's power must be on.
"off" the port's power must be off.
Right?

Do you have a patch showing that this works?
Currently no. I will write a RFC version and send out for discuss.
