Sure, in fact I thought the same before sending $subject but didn't remove it
because mfd sec-core only calls regulator_suspend_prepare() but does not call
regulator_suspend_finish() on resume. So I wondered if $subject would not break
it anyways since it may change the driver assumption that the regulators .enable
function won't be called on resume. That's why I added Chanwoo Choi to the cc
list so he can be aware of this change and give his opinion is on that regard.

I should had commented that on the patch...

Good point, I'll change that on v2. I'll wait until tomorrow to see if there
are more comments and re-post with your suggestions.
