Overlooked, sorry.

The assumption here is that the state will be saved either by the driver
or by the core, so the bug here is a consequence of the previous one.

I'll add a check.

Well, if the state is UNKNOWN, I think it's safe to save the config, so the
WARN_ON should really catch the low power states only.  I'll fix that.

Thanks for debugging it!
