24.3 W 100,0% Device USB device: 5880
(Broadcom Corp)
On my Dell Latitude E6540 I constantly see this USB device eating about
20 W of power (and I don't see a reason for this kind of device to take
that much power). And yes, the fan is always running, even when the
computer is completely idle.
The computer has no fingerprint reader (though it was an optional
accessory, so the chip is IMHO built to support it). I use the
integrated smartcard reader (also handled by this chip). I've set up PAM
and LightDM to support smartcard login. However, the power usage is the
same regardless of whether a smartcard is inserted or not. I do not
intentionally use the integrated TPM chip in any way.
I faced this problem also on Ubuntu 14.04.3 with 3.19 kernel.
Eventually, this could also be a bug in powertop, but the fan almost
never stops (even with display backlight to minimum), so I think
powertop could be correct.
