I see.

BTW today I received response from hardware designers and as expected,
they are recommending usage of STANDBY registers instead of
ENABLE/DISABLE registers. The main reason for this is that STANDBY
registers are part of system controller which allows system power
up/down in a controlled, pop free manner. Also, as per application note,
STANDBY register bits are only effective if a particular IO (or ADC/DAC)
is already enabled using enable/disable register bits. This is inline
with my previous patch to support DAPM, i.e.

- All IOs and ADC/DAC are enabled using enable/disable register bits in
probe()
- STANDBY mode of all IOs and ADC/DAC is controlled by DAPM

I am thinking of re-posting the patch after adding above info somewhere.

Is there anything else that I need to take care of?
