Ok, I will remove another implementation of the same register 
for set_suspend_*.

S5M8767A has various power mode.
Especially, It can synchronize with AP power mode.
This initialization code is related to AP synchronization.
I have plan to add regulator framework for this function.
After merging basic S5M8767A driver, I will submit regulator framework.

Thanks,
Happy new year!
