+Contact:	Ed L. Cashin <ed.cashin@xxxxxxx>
+Description:
+		(RO) Device status. The state attribute is "up" when the device
+		is ready for I/O and "down" if detected but unusable. The
+		"down,closewait" state shows that the device is still open and
+		cannot come up again until it has been closed.  The "up,kickme"
+		state means that the driver wants to send more commands to the
+		target but found out there were already the max number of
+		commands waiting for a response. It will retry again after being
+		kicked by the periodic timer handler routine.
