This does not follow from the fact that the controller is wakeup
capable. What matters is if user space has enabled wakeup from suspend
or not.

Perhaps the driver cannot handle vbus regulators currently and that's
why you do things this way, but the commit message here should at least
be updated to reflect that.

Not sure this is needed. You already mentioned that the controller is
host-only above.
