Yep

Well I didn't look at this code yet, have no idea what it's actually doing 
(probe for 47k-ID?).
Anyway, until this function is telling us it's save to draw more than 100mA, 
we have to limit our current from USB, and we need to run the CPU with this 
current to execute the function mentioned by you. Then we are steady to boot.

Agree, think we have the same idea of how stuff should work.
