    usb: core: added uevent for over-current · 201af55d

    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().
