This documents two newly created files:
/sys/bus/usb/device/.../power/connected_duration
/sys/bus/usb/device/.../power/active_duration

Documentation was placed in Documentation/ABI/testing, since that's where the
documentation is for the other USB sysfs power files.

+Description:
+               If CONFIG_PM and CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND are enabled, then this file
+               is present.  When read, it returns the total time (in msec)
+               that the USB device has been active, i.e. not in a suspended
+               state.  This file is read-only.
+
+               Tools can use this file and the connected_duration file to
+               compute the percentage of time that a device has been active.
+               For example,
+               echo $((100 * `cat active_duration` / `cat connected_duration`))
+               will give an integer percentage.  Note that this does not
+               account for counter wrap.
