So I see what you are doing, however I don't think this adds much value.
Many of the key registers for the device are not simple Read/Write
registers. Most of them are things like write 1 to clear or some other sort
of value where writing doesn't set the bit but has some other side effect.
Just take a look through the Datasheet at registers such as the VFCTRL,
VFMAILBOX, or most of the interrupt registers. The fact is simply storing
the values off doesn't give you any real idea of what the state of things
are.
It doesn't, but I guess the point is to isolate the migration-related logic
in the recovery code.
An alternative would be to have some smart logic all over the place to
only store what's required - that would be much more intrusive.
After reviewing all of the patches yesterday I would say that almost all
the values being stored aren't needed. They can be restored from the
settings of the driver itself anyway. Copying the values out don't make
much sense here since there are already enough caches for almost all of
this data.
