+Description:
+                If CONFIG_PM and CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND are enabled, then this file
+                is present.  When read, it returns the total time (in msec)
+                that the USB device has been active, i.e. not in a suspended
+                state.  This file is read-only.
+
+                Tools can use this file and the connected_duration file to
+                compute the percentage of time that a device has been active.
+                For example,
+                echo $((100 * `cat active_duration` / `cat connected_duration`))
+                will give an integer percentage.  Note that this does not
+                account for counter wrap.
