Hi,
i have tested it today. I used qtmoko v55 kernel - the one which has enabled 
omap off mode.

Attached is screenshot with graph.

First current is 22mA - after boot.
Then there are values 31mA and 32mA - with ehci_hcd module loaded
The last values are 16mA 15mA and 15mA - after rmmod ehci_hcd

So i think we have quite similar results.

Regards

Radek
