We already support that obviously ;-)

But we defer the initialization of USB to a point where user really needs it.
Therefore if you boot from ie. NAND, you won't have the USB inited anyway.

And what about embedded hub that has two distinct power GPIOs? And we can go
forever with this discussion.

I don't think so. You might want to minimize the power consumption by disabling
the hub power completely.
