You don't have to post the full contents of /sys but note that private
emails do not scale well for open source development at all, which is
why it should be done in public for everyone to help.

And anyone working in open source is long used to "brown paper bag"
bugs, it's not an issue for anyone (or should not be, we are all human.)

The code patch of the '-t' option in lsusb is totally separate and apart
from the "normal" portion of lsusb, as you note, it is a separate .c
file as well.  -t uses the sysfs representation of the USB devices,
while the other code path uses the 'libusb' representation of the USB
devices.  And those seem to differ here (as they do for everyone.)

So if someone wants to take the time to figure out which representation
is "more correct", that would be great.  I don't have the bandwidth to
do so for the next few weeks due to travel requirements on my end,
sorry.
