Power supply current required by USB device is reported by USB
device itself. If you consider the "self powered" to be incorrect,
the fault should be owed to the USB device.

It seems a misnomer & should at most be "Can be self powered" ?
The disc housing has a socket to apply power, but was not plugged
in. (I don't even have a power supply for it). Disc was cabled
direct to laptop, not through a hub, & showed:
Controller /dev/usb1:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000),
Intel(0x0000), rev 1.00
port 1 addr 2: full speed, self powered, config 1,
USB 2.0 Storage Device(0x5621), vendor 0x0402(0x0402), rev 1.03
When I added a USB-2 Hub (with hub power supply plugged in to 220V)"
Controller /dev/usb1:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000),
Intel(0x0000), rev 1.00
port 1 addr 2: full speed, self powered, config 1,
USB2.0 Hub Cont(0x0058), NEC Corporation(0x0409), rev 1.00
port 1 addr 5: full speed, self powered, config 1,
USB 2.0 Storage Device(0x5621), vendor 0x0402(0x0402), rev 1.03
Sometimes "self powered" seems correct though, as for eg:
- a GPS with battery inside.
- a USB2-IDE + 3.5" IDE disc + external 220V supply
