Probably.  TBH I'd rather fix this in the notifier API - either way it's
pretty nasty.

This isn't the expected use of cache_sync, the idea is that it is a flag
indicating that a cache sync is required - this will happen when writes
are held while the regulators are disabled but the regualators haven't
actually been powered down.  This can be nice since we end up not
needing to do I2C I/O during bulk configuration at startup, I'm hoping
that we may be able to exploit this even more in the future.
