+Description:
+ Various files for managing Cable Based Association of
+ (wireless) USB devices.
+
+ The sequence of operations should be:
+
+ 1. Device is plugged in.
+
+ 2. The connection manager (CM) sees a device with CBA capability.
+ (the wusb_chid etc. files in /sys/devices/blah/OURDEVICE).
+
+ 3. The CM writes the host name, supported band groups,
+ and the CHID (host ID) into the wusb_host_name,
+ wusb_host_band_groups and wusb_chid files. These
+ get sent to the device and the CDID (if any) for
+ this host is requested.
+
+ 4. The CM can verify that the device's supported band
+ groups (wusb_device_band_groups) are compatible
+ with the host.
+
+ 5. The CM reads the wusb_cdid file.
+
+ 6. The CM looks it up its database.
+
+ - If it has a matching CHID,CDID entry, the device
+ has been authorized before and nothing further
+ needs to be done.
+
+ - If the CDID is zero (or the CM doesn't find a
+ matching CDID in its database), the device is
+ assumed to be not known. The CM may associate
+ the host with device by: writing a randomly
+ generated CDID to wusb_cdid and then a random CK
+ to wusb_ck (this uploads the new CC to the
+ device).
+
+ CMD may choose to prompt the user before
+ associating with a new device.
+
+ 7. Device is unplugged.
