Yeah. Two flags maybe good. In this situation, it should be call
"power_is_on", right? power_is_on can be used to avoid to sending
redundant PORT_POWER request. The other flag is dedicated to prevent
device from being disconnected. Something like hub->busy_bits. We can
can "child_busy", I am not very good at giving a name. So I'd like to
see your opinion. :)
