Sorry, I can't catch up you. USB Host (SDP or CDP) supplies power for
USB device (not only USB controller, it is the whole system), it can
supply more power after set configuration. See 1.4.13 from BC 1.2.

An SDP expects a downstream device with a good battery to draw less than
2.5mA average when unconnected or suspended, up to 100mA maximum when
connected and not configured and not suspended, and up to 500mA maximum
if so configured and not suspended.
