It's a trigger that turns on LED whenever USB device appears at
specified USB port. There are plenty of home routers that have USB
labeled LED(s). To support them nicely, first of all we need a trigger
that will watch for USB subsystem events. Secondly we need a way to
setup its initial state correctly as most users don't want to play
with sysfs on their own.

I sent usbport trigger in:
