Thanks a lot for these inputs.
Now, I can verify USB device auto-suspend and auto-resume through the
kernel log.

In my test system, I found three buses "Bus 001, 002, and 003" using
the lsusb command.

The USB device I want to test is located on "Bus 002".


# lsusb | grep "Bus 002" | wc
      4      37     224

As per the output of the above command, there are 4 USB devices on
"Bus 002" in my test system.


# ls -l /sys/bus/usb/devices/2*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 14 14:48 /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-0:1.0 ->

# ls -l /sys/bus/usb/devices/2* | wc
      7      77     892


The above command shows seven nodes in /sys/bus/usb/devices/2* directory.

The wakeup, control, and autosuspend_delay_ms attribute files are
controlled via /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/, where "..." represents
the device's ID.

I identified my test device in /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/ by
iterating through all the directories, reading the idVendor attribute
file, and then manipulating the power management attribute files.

Is there a way to manually map /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/ from
the lsusb output? Can this mapping be done from a user space program
as well? Do you have any reference examples for this? If so, could you
share their GitHub location?
