+ "online" - The MIC device has initiated booting a card OS.
+ "shutting_down" - The card OS is shutting down.
+ "reset_failed" - The MIC device has failed to reset.
+ "suspending" - The MIC device is currently being prepared for

+ "suspended" - The MIC device has been suspended.
+
+ When written, this sysfs entry triggers different state change
+ operations depending upon the current state of the card OS.
+ Acceptable values are:
+ "boot" - Boot the card OS image specified by the combination
+ of firmware, ramdisk, cmdline and bootmode
+ sysfs entries.
+ "reset" - Initiates device reset.
+ "shutdown" - Initiates card OS shutdown.
