Oh I literally lost track of time.. will correct it in the next version.

Yes, I intentionally make the file pollable because it would be more
useful that way. I can give you a concrete example: when there's a
signal integrity issue during enumeration, the usb device state would
likely be repeatedly switching between POWERED and DEFAULT
state as the usb core goes through different levels of retry loops.
User space programs can poll the sysfs attribute to detect the state
changes and eventually recognize the pattern, which isn't possible
without the attribute being pollable. Right now I don't have anything
available for public review as the userspace part is still in development
and is dependent on this kernel patch.
Using uevent should also work, but I would argue that having the interested
parties to poll the sysfs attribute might be more efficient.
I will explicitly state that the file is pollable in the description
in the next patch.
