True.

We want to preserve as much power as we can.
So if application opens the driver, but it is not requesting to play any
effect we still keep the device turned off.
When application request for stopping the effect without closing the device,
we turn off things in a similar way.
The twl4030-vibra driver has been implemented in this way as well.

The reason for this is to ensure that we have the lowest latency as possible
in most case. In the embedded devices we use the vibra for tactile type of
feedbacks as well, where few tens of ms delay can be felt.

OK, will be fixed.

Thanks, I have change this.

True, removed.

Thanks for the comments. I will update the series.
