I'm not convinced about the 'power supply' naming, since as you say there
can be more initialization besides switching on a regulator and the driver
'extends' the hub driver to support switching the hub power off during
system suspend.

So far neither Alan nor Greg have raised concerns about the naming (though
that's still an option ;-). I'm open to change it if we can come up with a
name that clearly describes the driver better than the current name.

Thanks, will do, Greg also pointed that out.

Will have to see if I can come up with something that provides more
information but is at the same time short. I might leave it as is
in the next version if my inspiration fails and be open to specific
suggestions.
