This seems basically fine but there's a few relatively minor issues
below, mostly coding style rather than anything serious.

Brackets here would help legibility even if not strictly required.

Should be "data ="

MAX8649 might be a better name but it doesn't really make any odds.

Use the max index value you have above?

This should really be a switch statement for legibility.  In general the
ternery operator should be used very sparingly, and if you've got more
than one of them it's not a good sign.

I'm not sure what this power save mode is but I suspect it'd map well
onto the regulator_set_mode() API - normal mode for power saving, fast
mode for power saving disabled.

You might want to implement the new enable_time() API for this.

This should be at most debug level, and should be dev_() to distinguish
between multiple devices.
