Now writing new_port with "1-1" produces a file named "1-1" in the
ports directory with 000 permissions. I think that what Greg had
on mind by referring to "one value per file" rule was a set of
files representing ports, like "1-1 1-2 2-1", and each file should be
readable/writeable.

For instance "echo 1 > 1-1" would enable the trigger for the port 1-1
and "echo 0 > 1-1" would disable it. The problem is that we don't know
the number of required ports at compilation time and the sysfs
attributes would have to be dynamically created on driver instantiation.
What is more, as the USB ports can dynamically appear/disappear in the
system, the files would have to be created/removed accordingly during
LED class device lifetime, which is not the best design for the sysfs
interface I think.

Therefore, maybe it would be good to follow the "triggers" sysfs
attribute pattern, where it lists the available LED triggers?

The question is whether there is some mechanism available for
notifying addition/removal of a USB port?

Also a description of the device connected to the port would be a nice
feature, however I am not certain about the feasibility thereof.
