Newer ThinkPad systems expose a USB-C Security (Restricted Mode) feature.
When active, USB-C data connections are disabled while power delivery is
preserved. This is useful for kiosk and physically-secured deployments.
Hardware interface:
The HKEY device exposes a read-only ACPI method USCS():
Return value bit layout:
Bit 16 : Capability flag (1 = feature present on this SKU)
Bit 0 : Current state (0 = security OFF, 1 = security ON)
The sysfs attribute is read-only.
The Fn+U followed by Fn+S hotkey chord is the only way to toggle the
hardware state.
Hotkey:
Fn+U followed by Fn+S generates HKEY event 0x131e.
sysfs interface:
/sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/usb_c_security (read-only)
"enabled\n" -- data connections are currently blocked
"disabled\n" -- data connections are currently allowed
The attribute is hidden on SKUs where the USCS capability bit (bit 16)
is not set, so there is no ABI impact on unsupported hardware.
