No, that's not accurate at all - you're still not getting the concepts
of modes or suspend handling in the regulator API.  I really think you
need to take a step back and try to understand what's currently there
before trying to make changes here.  We've got a set of operations we
can use to change the regulator configuration, if you look at the
existing driver interface you'll see that these are matched with
equivalent operations for setting the behaviour when in suspend
(including a set_suspend_mode() operation).  

Like I keep saying abstractions are really important to making sure the
code is maintainable.
