It probably should.  I don't see any fatal errors from the step being
skipped, although it might silence some regulator warnings about being
left on.  Unlikely to be observed by most folks as I was initing the
driver pretty early to debug some things.  Looks like Kalle already
picked up this patch though, so I guess your suggestion would need to
be a follow up.
