I suspect not, it looks like the driver is using the cache for
suspend/resume handling.  I've dropped the patch for now.  Either the
driver should explicitly write to the relevant registers outside of
interrupt context to ensure the cache entry exists or it should keep the
defaults and explicitly write them to hardware at startup to ensure
sync (the former is more likely to be safe).
