The meaning of the code is to restore the register context after it was lost during transition into low power consumption state. SW reset is needed to bring all the registers in a consistent state before reconfiguring some of them. 

Saving and restoring the SYSCONFIG register across SW reset is not needed. 

Also re-configuring AUTOIDLE feature is not necessary since SYSCONFIG reset value has is 1 already, according to TRM. I guess it was done to make things more explicit.
