Interesting question. If the chip was really powered off, you would
have to restore the entire configuration, not just the configuration
register. Given that, I think it is sufficient to just restore the
operational mode, ie the value changed when entering suspend.
Where did you find regmap_sync() ? It seems to be hiding from me.
