Sure, they are written in a single merged burst on I2C.

Yes, in fact I never try to read anything from the sensor :-)
Unfortunately I'm not sure how to initialize the (possibly nonexistent)
PM without powering it up, cleanly, in all kernel configs. I mean, I can
check if PM failed and power it up "by hand", but it's a bit messy.

Suggestions are welcome, though.
