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?
Maybe the "auto" setting should be renamed "active". Then "auto" can
be used for:
If the port has a device, turn the power on.
If the port doesn't have a device, turn the power off.
And plugging a new device into a port that was powered off is going to
cause the power to come back on, right?
When the port was powered off, the connect-change event will not be
detected and
we don't know a device was plugged in. :(
