USB OTG power rail schematic

Hi all! Hope you are feel good.
Many examples connect net "+5V" from micro USB conector directly to +5V power net, or through the power switch ic (TPS2553 for example).
And, what if main PCB power supply (for example +12V) will turned off? Current from USB connector (I suppose, 1A maximum) will power up whole PCB?
Ok, but what if +5V stepdown converter will powered up from output to input? What if +5V current will flow to +12V net? There are some other loads (much more than 1A), with UVLO less than +5V. Probably I even will see more than +5V on +12V net, cause of inductor in +5V stepdown converter, and dynamic load on +12V net during startup.
So, I want to understand: How can I protect OTG power net?
I want to use OTG for software updating, and for testing.

So, I read datasheet on TPS2553 again, and find that ic block reverse current, so I don't need another protection for this net.
Also, I add voltage supervisory ic to +12V net, and it block load enabling.
But, I see iMX6 Rex Development Baseboard schematic, and there is no any voltage switch ic on OTG power net (just ferrite bead).

This is what we have on our OpenRex board. See the schematic (Page 28): https://www.imx6rex.com/wp-content/u...Production.pdf
