These port names are out of date.  Likewise the names below.

+While a superspeed port is powered off a device may downgrade its
+connection and attempt to connect to the hi-speed pins.  The
+implementation takes steps to prevent this:
+
+1/ Port suspend is sequenced to guarantee that hi-speed ports are powered-off
+   before their superspeed peer is permitted to power-off.  The implication is
+   that the setting pm_qos_no_power_off to zero on a superspeed port may not 
cause
+   the port to power-off until its highspeed peer to go to its runtime suspend

s/to go/has gone/

+   state.  Userspace must take care to order the suspensions if it wants to
+   guarantee that a superspeed port will power-off.
