So in non-ext control modes, should it return with doing nothing? And 
for ext-control case, should it do reverse of disable?

I though following case:
non-ext control:
     If suspend-enable is selected then it will be in NORMAL mode, if 
suspend-disable is selected then it should be in OFF state and if there 
is suspend modes then it will select accordingly. The enable or disable 
with modes can come with regulator suspend states through reg_init data.
If regulator goes into suspend and configure different modes for suspend 
mode then in resume path, the regulator should be enabled (if before 
suspend it was enabled and set to mode which was there before suspend). 
I just saw the code in core driver for enabling the regulator again but 
not for re-setting the mode.

in ext control case:
In ext control mode, the regulator is controlled from external signal 
and hence it can set on full power/low power /off states based on 
external control i.e.ext control high then it is full power mode, low 
then based on configuration, it can set to low power or off.
And hence I implemented suspend-enable for do nothing, suspend-disable 
for complete off and suspend mode for setting modes for low power.

Yes, this will be easy to review also. I will split the change in two 
parts, one for external control configuration and other for suspend modes.
Based on above discussion/comment I will send the suspend mode support.
