Then in this case, I will implement the
set_suspend_enable() and put the device in low power mode.
set_suspend_disable() and put the device in full power, normal mode.
set_suspend_mode(): based on mode and external control, either it will 
call existing set_mode() if it is not externally controlled otherwise 
set the mode locally for the case of externally controlled.

The board file will set the regulator_state accordingly for a given 
requirements through the constraints.

Does it make sense?
