No, that's not what the suspend mode settings are doing.  Many
regulators have separate state configuration for use when the system is
suspended, the purpose of suspend_prepare() is to configure that.  They
are orthogonal to the state seen when the system is running and it is
expected that the previously configured state will be automatically
recovered when exiting suspend.

The reason we set this stuff immediately before suspend is that Linux
has multiple suspend types so we need to adjust the configuration to
reflect the suspend type that's been chosen.
