Yes, it can be a supply widget.  But it's a bit that controls device
overall power rather than any particular component power.  Since every
single operation of the device will need this power bit to be on, I
think it makes sense to configure the bit in .startup/.shutdown hooks,
rather than creating a widget for it and attaches the widget to a bunch
of components.

It only resets some hardware internal states, and software settings
won't be affected.

Yes, it sounds like a better approach.  Will try to do that.
