You know, I think we have been talking about different things, or using the wrong term. Do you actually mean "hibernation" rather than "sleep"? I'm pretty sure that USB ports have never been turned off during sleep as that's the only way a device such as a mouse or keyboard can wake the computer. The drivers for a lot of the devices will have a power management option to allow the computer to turn the device off. But, that can be because of inactivity, not just when the computer goes to sleep.

Charging while in hibernation mode or is laptop is off is different and is what I was thinking of. This has tended to be only one port and is configurable in the BIOS or a utility supplied by the manufacturer. This was always promoted as a convenience so that people didn't need to leave the laptop on when charging their devices.
