That's weird -- we should always power-on every port during hub 
initialization.

It looks like there's a bug in hub.c:hub_activate(): The line under
HUB_INIT which calls hub_power_on() should call
usb_hub_set_port_power() instead.  In fact, the comment near the start
of hub_power_on() is wrong.  It says "Enable power on each port", but
in fact it only enables power for ports that had been powered-on
previously (i.e., the port's bit in hub->power_bits was set).  
Apparently this got messed up in commit ad493e5e5805 ("usb: add usb
port auto power off mechanism").

Now, the chipidea driver may still need to be updated, because 
ehci_turn_off_all_ports() will still be called during shutdown and it 
will try to power-down all ports, even those which are already powered 
down (for example, because the port is suspended).
