I'd be happy to send a patch to fix this, but I didn't really
understand what needs to be done.

Here is the relevant documentation update in the patch:

+What:          /sys/devices/.../removable
+Date:          May 2021
+Contact:       Rajat Jain <rajatxjain@xxxxxxxxx>
+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).

I'd be happy to send a patch if you can point me what needs to be done
(or let Stephen / Greg / some one else do it if it is easier to just
do it instead of guiding me).

Thanks,

Rajat
