Unfortunately I had to rely on the existing implementation as I don't
have access to the datasheet.
If I got it right, we should drop all write operations on PWR_CTRL1,
and simply set the CS35L41_SYNC_EN_MASK bit in PWR_CTRL3.

That's a good point, it should be fixed implicitly by replacing the
read/write operations with a single regmap_update_bits() call, which
is protected by regmap's internal lock.

As a matter of fact I initially considered doing this in the IRQ handler,
but I also wanted to understand the reasoning behind current solution.
Therefore I searched the ML archive for any relevant review comments,
and I came across [1] which raises some concerns regarding the PLL lock
signal, e.g. lack of documentation regarding trigger time & frequency.
If going with the IRQ handler approach is still the recommended approach,
I will handle it in v2.
Thanks for reviewing,
Cristian
