Yes, but that happens after reading status regs, etc.

I'd stick to this approach too. Program everything in init, then
program mode-dependent regs in set_mode.

Do you have at least a list of the properties / registers that
downstream programs on your platform? I mean, it's not infrequent that
vendor kernel is more versatile than necessary, as it is being used
during bringup / etc. I'd suggest to limit supported overrides to those
necessary for your platform (and add a comment that there were other
available).
