usb: core: added uevent for over-current
After commit 1cbd53c8 ("usb: core: introduce per-port over-current counters") usb ports expose a sysfs value 'over_current_count' to user space. This value on its own is not very useful as it requires manual polling. As a solution, fire a udev event from the usb hub device that specifies the values 'OVER_CURRENT_PORT' and 'OVER_CURRENT_COUNT' that indicate the path of the usb port where the over-current event occurred and the value of 'over_current_count' in sysfs. Additionally, call sysfs_notify() so the sysfs value supports poll(). Signed-off-by: Jon Flatley <jflat@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
