Hardkernel team responded on the Odroid forums to the request from Anand:
"Power-Enable signal to the USB load switch ICs is connected to the
USB hub controller.
It is not connected the CPU GPIO."

The regulator from Anand's patch is therefore connected to the micro USB port.
This means that the patch needs updating in case Anand wants to have
it included.
