I agree, but it depends on what we mean with standby vs mem, there 
should be a difference between the two sleep mode.

This behavior follows what the Atmel OHCI driver is currently doing.

There is a penalty, starting up a PLL takes about 500 µs, however I 
can't decide if this is a small or a big penalty.
