No problem. This is just a define for value used in register. However
OPMODE is used in other places in that driver:
#define MAX77686_OPMODE_SHIFT 6
#define MAX77686_OPMODE_BUCK234_SHIFT 4
#define MAX77686_OPMODE_MASK 0x3

So this would be a little inconsistent...

Actually I made mistake in that comment. The 0x2 means force low power
mode only for buck1-4... but there is no set_suspend_mode for these
bucks. So this #define has only one semantic value.

> Also, are you sure that forcing low power mode is 0x2 and not 0x1?

You're right, for other LDOs, low power mode may be forced with 0x1. For
such regulators the max77686_set_suspend_mode() is used which does not
set value 0x1. This means that each define has only one semantic
meaning.

I'll re-spin and fix the documentation to reflect both device
capabilities and how the driver currently works.

Thanks for pointing this.
