5 Description:
6                 Various files for managing Cable Based Association of
7                 (wireless) USB devices.
8
9                 The sequence of operations should be:
10
11                 1. Device is plugged in.
12
13                 2. The connection manager (CM) sees a device with CBA capability.
14                    (the wusb_chid etc. files in /sys/devices/blah/OURDEVICE).
15
16                 3. The CM writes the host name, supported band groups,
17                    and the CHID (host ID) into the wusb_host_name,
18                    wusb_host_band_groups and wusb_chid files. These
19                    get sent to the device and the CDID (if any) for
20                    this host is requested.
21
22                 4. The CM can verify that the device's supported band
23                    groups (wusb_device_band_groups) are compatible
24                    with the host.
25
26                 5. The CM reads the wusb_cdid file.
27
28                 6. The CM looks it up its database.
29
30                    - If it has a matching CHID,CDID entry, the device
31                      has been authorized before and nothing further
32                      needs to be done.
33
34                    - If the CDID is zero (or the CM doesn't find a
35                      matching CDID in its database), the device is
36                      assumed to be not known.  The CM may associate
37                      the host with device by: writing a randomly
38                      generated CDID to wusb_cdid and then a random CK
39                      to wusb_ck (this uploads the new CC to the
40                      device).
41
42                      CMD may choose to prompt the user before
43                      associating with a new device.
44
45                 7. Device is unplugged.
