This is common enough that that just isn't going to scale well I fear
without some generic handling, either walking child devices at the bus
level or at the device level with a pre-probe() callback to get the
device to power on. The latter is more appropriate to things like
Slimbus where the device is more likely to do active management at
runtime, it's not clear people are building USB devices like that.
