-Description:
- Some information about whether a given USB device is
- physically fixed to the platform can be inferred from a
- combination of hub descriptor bits and platform-specific data
- such as ACPI. This file will read either "removable" or
- "fixed" if the information is available, and "unknown"
- otherwise.

+Description:
+ Information about whether a given device can be removed from the
+ platform by the user. This is determined by its subsystem in a
+ bus / platform-specific way. This attribute is only present for
+ devices that can support determining such information:
+
+ "removable": device can be removed from the platform by the user
+ "fixed": device is fixed to the platform / cannot be removed
+ by the user.
+ "unknown": The information is unavailable / cannot be deduced.
+
+ Currently this is only supported by USB (which infers the
+ information from a combination of hub descriptor bits and
+ platform-specific data such as ACPI).
