Hi,

this is most interesting. But the interface is terrible. If
possible we would like to have a generic interface for this,
which should not depend on the specific platform in use and would
have to be per bus or even per port (for example the ports on a
Thunderbolt dock would not work with your module).
Do you think we could provide a hook from generic code into
platform code to detect the capability for power control?

	Regards
		Oliver
