** Description changed: I am on a Sony VAIO svf43142sn. My laptop has the ability to leave a USB port powered on even after shutdown to charge other devices. The value of /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/usb_charge is 1, but the USB port is not powered on. Also when I tried toggling it to 0 it resets back to 1 when I check again using cat. So I restarted the module sony-laptop with debug flags on. When I try echo -n 0 | sudo tee -a /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/usb_charge these are the curresponding kernel logs, implying that it was a success: [ 9121.879908] sony_laptop: found handle 0x0155 (offset: 0x07) [ 9121.881386] sony_laptop: __call_snc_method: [SN07:0x0000000000000107] [ 9121.881394] sony_laptop: called SN07 with 0x0107 (result: 0x0000) But if I cat the value of usb charge, the change is not reflected, and I see this when I dmesg: [ 9346.202318] sony_laptop: found handle 0x0155 (offset: 0x07) [ 9346.202489] sony_laptop: __call_snc_method: [SN07:0x0000000000000007] [ 9346.202494] sony_laptop: called SN07 with 0x0007 (result: 0x0001) If it matters, when i simply echo 1, I will get this: [ 9879.675844] sony_laptop: found handle 0x0155 (offset: 0x07) [ 9879.676878] sony_laptop: __call_snc_method: [SN07:0x0000000000010107] [ 9879.676885] sony_laptop: called SN07 with 0x10107 (result: 0x0000) The entire debug message when I restart the module(sony-laptop) is given here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11551226/ I have asked the same as a question on askubuntu.com.
