Maybe it would be possible to rearrange this so that there was no need

I will need USB maintainer's ack for this patch.
Adding Felipe.

Couldn't we live without new_port attr? Writing the ports attribute
would add the port. We should have a means for removing the port too,
possibly prepended with some character, like '-'.
