What about drivers for devices that can be either sleeping or not? There
are things like regmap which can abstract those differences away, so you
could have a driver that works on both types of devices, so setting this
in ops wouldn't be correct all the time. I think can_sleep needs to be
per-chip rather than per-driver.
