USB port dead on WD livebook duo

[aparcar]

On a WD livebook duo using OpenWrt 21.02.1, r16325-88151b8303, i expect power on for a device on plugging in. I like to use backup devices on the USB port and tried an external harddisk and USB-Sticks. None of them are powered on and i can't see any messages in the kernel- or system-log. On power up, an USB device gets power via the port, but after booting the kernel the port seems to be dead.
dmesg shows the following lines related to the USB subsystem (please let me know, if the full log is required):

OpenWrt Forum thread about the topic:

[[https://forum.openwrt.org/t/wd-my-book-duo-usb/111926/8]]

There's an proposed fix for both Snapshot (and backported to OpenWrt-21.02).
[[https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=832b9cbd741cdb6cc8483b2cddfef6de000ec61d]]

If this works out as intended this is hopefully "fixed."

After building and testing the current development (master at 2e1206a) and stable snapshots (openwrt-21.02 at 4dddb7c) i confirm, it works as intended.
