[PATCH] Documentation: ABI: remove outdated USB power/level removal notice

Posted by Sardaruddin Syed 1 week, 1 day ago

The sysfs power/level interface is still implemented and documented
despite the removal notice stating it would be removed after 2010.

Remove the outdated removal timeline while keeping the deprecation
notice and recommendation to use power/control instead.
