The datasheets of 65910 and 65911 say that ON and SLP bits are cleared
during OFF state. But I guess the hardware might work differently.

There is tps65910_reg_set_bits() at the start of function. I guess it
doesn't work if your changes are needed. Maybe you can remove it?

I would also include your observations about the chip's behaviour in the
commit message so it doesn't get "fixed" later.
