Do NOT do this from userspace! You need to modify the xHCI kernel driver to support link PM for your host controller. The USB core has specific times it disables link PM (e.g. before a device is reset) and some drivers may require link PM to be disabled. You are circumventing kernel policy by writing the link PM registers from userspace. Do NOT do this!
