usb: core: introduce per-port over-current counters
For some userspace applications information on the number of over-current conditions at specific USB hub ports is relevant. In our case we have a series of USB hardware (using the cp210x driver) which communicates using a proprietary protocol. These devices sometimes trigger an over-current situation on some hubs. In case of such an over-current situation the USB devices offer an interface for reducing the max used power. As these conditions are quite rare and imply performance reductions of the device we don't want to reduce the max power always. Therefore give user-space applications the possibility to react adequately by introducing an over_current_counter in the usb port struct which is exported via sysfs.
