USB: deprecate the power/level sysfs attribute
This patch (as1367) deprecates USB's power/level sysfs attribute in favor of the power/control attribute provided by the runtime PM core. The two attributes do the same thing. It would be nice to replace power/level with a symlink to power/control, but at the moment sysfs doesn't offer any way to do so.

What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/level | ||
Date: March 2007 | ||
KernelVersion: 2.6.21 | ||
Contact: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> | ||
Description: | ||
Each USB device directory will contain a file named | ||
power/level. This file holds a power-level setting for | ||
the device, either "on" or "auto". | ||
|
||
"on" means that the device is not allowed to autosuspend, | ||
although normal suspends for system sleep will still | ||
be honored. "auto" means the device will autosuspend | ||
and autoresume in the usual manner, according to the | ||
capabilities of its driver. | ||
|
||
During normal use, devices should be left in the "auto" | ||
level. The "on" level is meant for administrative uses. | ||
If you want to suspend a device immediately but leave it | ||
free to wake up in response to I/O requests, you should | ||
write "0" to power/autosuspend. | ||
|
||
Device not capable of proper suspend and resume should be | ||
left in the "on" level. Although the USB spec requires | ||
devices to support suspend/resume, many of them do not. | ||
In fact so many don't that by default, the USB core | ||
initializes all non-hub devices in the "on" level. Some | ||
drivers may change this setting when they are bound. | ||
|
||
This file is deprecated and will be removed after 2010. | ||
Use the power/control file instead; it does exactly the | ||
same thing. |
