I prefer 0 and 1 since we also feed this to the file.

Oops -- I was wrong about "true" or "false" (which is a little odd;
you'd think a parser for boolean values would certainly recognize those
words).  However, strtobool() does also recognize "yes", "no", "on", and
"off".

Using "on" and "off" would lead to confusion, since "on" means
"disable is turned on", which means the port is off!  "Yes" and "no"
would be okay, though.

I still prefer 1 an 0.

Also, I just found out that just parsing power_bits is not enough.

E.g. when we use other tools to set clear PORT_POWER on the hub like
uhubctl to disable a port. The value does not represent the real state
of the port.

The value in power_bits is always supposed to match the real state of
the port.  How does uhubctl manage to get them to disagree?

https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl/blob/master/uhubctl.c#L1082

It just calls a direct control transfer with rather CLEAR or SET_FEATURE
set. So this will be transfered completely passing the kernel usb core
layer. I actually would expect that the hubs interrupt worker would
trigger. I will have to check if this is the case.

I think it is better to use hub_port_status and port_is_power_on from
hub.c to test the real state by sending a GET_STATUS command.

Maybe.  But if power_bits is working properly, this should not be
needed.  It would be better to fix the value stored in power_bits.

I don't know if this is trivial. If it is not, I would prefer to
trigger the GET_STATUS in disable_show for now.

Regards,
Michael
