Yes it's self powered. I took the cable as an example, this scenario
happens with a host power off as well of course whihc is more relevant
in our case since we are a BMC).

It does. At least my HW detects a resume signaling right before the but
reset.

It's not a step I created. I do observe resume signaling by the hub HW
(it's an interrupt) right before the bus reset when the host comes back
up. In any case, no impact on what happens below...

Typo. I preserve POWER and CONNECTION. Not SUSPEND.

POWER because I'm self powered so it's always set and CONNECTION for
obvious reasons.

Yes :-)
