Does this actually work? and on which model RPis?
I ask because there's a number of blog/forum threads out there which claim the RPi doesn't support controlling the power to individual end-user ports but rather to banks of ports on different "buses" (and that there's differences between the different models in this regard). There's so much misinformation on the InterWeb™ I don't want to start quoting something I haven't tested myself.
Unfortunately, I don't have a USB power meter or similar to be able to test the behavior of various "solutions" with respect to the one to four USB ports available on different models.
