Sorry i didn't get your second line.

This change allows HOST and HSIC phys to enable VBUS for the devices
connected to it.
Although now i think there can be a flaw in this approach
when only in OTG mode, when DEVICE phy is being used, even then
the regulator will be turned on causing power unnecessary consumption.
