 # Allowed properties are:

+#    ID_PERSIST=0
+#
+# ID_PERSIST=0 allows disabling the kernels USB "persist" feature, which allows
+# the continued use of devices after a power loss (due to suspend). Disable it
+# if the device will loose state without a USB power session and the driver
+# is unable to recover the state when resuming. See
