Description
The `QgsLayerTreeEmbeddedWidgetProvider` class defines a virtual method `supportsLayer()` that should be called in order to check if the provider supports adding widgets to specific layers. This method is currently not called anywhere in QGIS' code base.
This means that custom providers cannot really target their widgets to specific layers

yes, it is now used in `QgsLayerTreeEmbeddedConfigWidget::setLayer`, after I have submitted a PR with the change and it having been merged nine days ago.
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/8066
So I guess this should be closed with a `fixed/implemented` instead.
