Currently this seems only Qcom specific, so i would prefer to wait and
see if there are similar need for other platforms before adding a new
callback. IMO the best option for now would be to reset the values in
the platform driver after they are committed.

Yes indeed. I think i am missing a patch here. Thanks for catching it!
