Right, I forgot to add a note here, that this follows space
separated list pattern similarly as in case of triggers attribute.
Of course other suggestions are welcome.

I've found only idProduct and idVendor files. They indeed uniquely
identify the device, but the numbers are not human readable.
Is there a way to retrieve the corresponding names in kernel?
Does the lsusb command do the mapping in the user space or maybe
it takes the names from kernel?
