I'm really wary of trusting out of tree reports since a high proportion
of the time they turn out to be due to people not being aware of some
existing support or things like API misuse.  New issues do crop up, but
anecdotes about issues that have been diagnosed but not reported need to
be taken with a grain of salt.

Like I say, the regulator drivers just don't do anything in suspend
in mainline which means that ordering issues from them seem a bit
suspicious.
