It seems you are re-developing the power sequence drivers which perform
exactly this. Peter Chen some time ago was bringing power sequence to
USB devices, but I lost track where this ended up.

Some of his (and my) very old work (2017...) can be found here:
https://github.com/krzk/linux/tree/wip/odroid-u3-usb3503-pwrseq

Instead of adding custom driver hiding some USB hub implementation,
power sequence seems a generic solution. What if you need to power cycle
other embedded USB device? Not a hub?

I was not aware of previous discussions so maybe I am repeating
someone.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
