well, theoretically the UPLL could be shut down / slowed down if we are
absolutely sure we don't need any USB, i.e. if bluetooth is not used,
nothing plugged into the USB jack, and no audio is used.  This is
complex (especially the bluetooth part, since powering up would
basically mean to re-enumerate the USB) and I also believe that it's not
going to save all that much power...
