Embedded hosts might also want this to save some power while no devices
are connected. I guess most of those devices would rely on SRP or on a
polling method to enable VBUS. By 'polling' I mean that e.g. every 2
seconds turn vbus on, if no device are enumerated in 200ms, then sleep
for another 2 seconds.

Or something similar. I know of some products (cellphones) which will
only switch Vbus on when you open e.g. file manager.
