Commit 655fe4effe0f ("usbcore: add sysfs support to xHCI usb3
hardware LPM") introduced usb3_hardware_lpm sysfs node. This
doesn't show the correct status of USB3 U1 and U2 LPM status.

This patch fixes this by replacing usb3_hardware_lpm with two
nodes, usb3_hardware_lpm_u1 (for U1) and usb3_hardware_lpm_u2
(for U2), and recording the U1/U2 LPM status in right places.

This patch should be back-ported to kernels as old as 4.3,
that contains Commit 655fe4effe0f ("usbcore: add sysfs support
to xHCI usb3 hardware LPM").

This doesn't look right at all. What happens if ret is 0 but the
device isn't configured? You'll set the usb3_lpm_u*_enabled flag even
though LPM isn't really enabled.

Don't you want to set these flags inside the
usb_set_device_initiated_lpm() function, where you know whether the
action succeeded? And leave this routine unchanged?
My understand is that both hub and device can initiate LPM.
As soon as usb_set_lpm_timeout(valid_timeout_value)
returns 0, the hub-initiated LPM is enabled. Thus, LPM is
enabled no matter the result of usb_set_device_initiated_lpm().
The only difference is whether device is able to initiate LPM.

On disable side, as soon as usb_set_lpm_timeout(0) return 0,
hub initiated LPM is disabled. Hub will disallows link to enter
U1/U2 as well, even device is initiating LPM. Hence LPM
is disabled as soon as hub LPM timeout set to 0, no matter
device-initiated LPM is disabled or not.
Then maybe you can add a comment explaining this.

Yes, I will add comments for this.


The patch still looks strange, though. Your new code does this:

ret = usb_set_lpm_timeout(...);
if (ret)
...
else if (udev->actconfig)
...
if (!ret) {
if (state == USB3_LPM_U1)
...
}

It would be better to do this:

if (usb_set_lpm_timeout(...)) {
...
} else {
if (udev->actconfig)
...
if (state == USB3_LPM_U1)
...
}

Yes, this looks better. I will refactor this part of code.
