+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.
