So the books aren't currently used so the driver actually works?

How can this work over system suspend?  This just removes the cache with
no replacement so if the device looses power over suspend (which seems
likely) then all the register state will be lost.  A similar issue may
potentially exist over runtime suspend on an ACPI system with
sufficiently heavily optimised power management.
