rx_lanes and tx_lanes sysfs entries show the number of lanes in use by a device. USB 3.2 adds support for Dual-lane (symmetrical), using 2 rx lanes and 2 tx lanes for normal non Inter-Chip SSIC devices. USB 3.1 and older are all single lane. SSIC devices can have up to 4 lanes per direction in use, with different number of rx and tx lanes.
