You could find references to PWREN  <--- GPIOAO.BIT5
The second reference is USB HOST Power Switch
The third reference is USB HOST POWER.

Hope I am clean in my thought process now.

Yep, you are correct, If I used GPIOAO_13 wrong pin, it will not
enable the USB power. See below.
[alarm at archl-c1e ~]$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio | grep usb
 gpio-1953 (USB_HUB_RST_N       |usb-hub-reset       ) out hi

So correct way with  gpios = <&gpio_ao GPIOAO_5 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;

[alarm at archl-c1e linux-amlogic-5.y-devel]$ sudo cat
/sys/kernel/debug/gpio | grep usb
 gpio-1953 (USB_HUB_RST_N       |usb-hub-reset       ) out hi
 gpio-1954 (USB_OTG_PWREN       |regulator-usb-pwr-en) out lo ACTIVE LOW

The reason for USB ports has power without this patch is applied.
Please check schematics S805 USB2 SDB
USB_VDD33 is powered with VDDIO_AO3V3 regulator directly along with SD CARD.

OK.

It just came to my notice your email on this issue sees below.

USB DWC2 power is linked to vbus-supply, so it should be moved to usb node.
Now I am getting your point correctly.

Thanks for the input, I will update the vbus-supply in the next
version to USB nodes.
