The question if they *can* be switched off. With the hardware I have,
most of 3.3V supplies are enabled/disabled with the same control. So, to
have maximal power saving in the system, I just pull this control to
disable 3.3V supplies, VDD33A among them. If smsc9220 can tolerate
switching VDD33A during suspend, I can send a patch that allows proper
wake-up with such conditions.
