+Description:
+		Most hubs are able to detect over-current situations on their
+		ports and report them to the kernel. This attribute is to expose
+		the number of over-current situation occurred on a specific port
+		to user space. This file will contain an unsigned 32 bit value
+		which wraps to 0 after its maximum is reached.
