Description:
Various files for managing Cable Based Association of
(wireless) USB devices.
The sequence of operations should be:
1. Device is plugged in.
2. The connection manager (CM) sees a device with CBA capability.
(the wusb_chid etc. files in /sys/devices/blah/OURDEVICE).
3. The CM writes the host name, supported band groups,
and the CHID (host ID) into the wusb_host_name,
wusb_host_band_groups and wusb_chid files. These
get sent to the device and the CDID (if any) for
this host is requested.
4. The CM can verify that the device's supported band
groups (wusb_device_band_groups) are compatible
with the host.
5. The CM reads the wusb_cdid file.
6. The CM looks it up its database.
- If it has a matching CHID,CDID entry, the device
has been authorized before and nothing further
needs to be done.
- If the CDID is zero (or the CM doesn't find a
matching CDID in its database), the device is
assumed to be not known. The CM may associate
the host with device by: writing a randomly
generated CDID to wusb_cdid and then a random CK
to wusb_ck (this uploads the new CC to the
device).
CMD may choose to prompt the user before
associating with a new device.
7. Device is unplugged.
