+What:           /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/autosuspend

+Description:
+                Each USB device directory will contain a file named
+                power/autosuspend.  This file holds the time (in seconds)
+                the device must be idle before it will be autosuspended.
+                0 means the device will be autosuspended as soon as
+                possible.  Negative values will prevent the device from
+                being autosuspended at all, and writing a negative value
+                will resume the device if it is already suspended.
+
+                The autosuspend delay for newly-created devices is set to
+                the value of the usbcore.autosuspend module parameter.
