OK.

I will keep this in mind.

I noted some drivers seem to instruct the hardware into a low power state. Take helene, for instance:

static int helene_sleep(struct dvb_frontend *fe)
{
	struct helene_priv *priv = fe->tuner_priv;

	dev_dbg(&priv->i2c->dev, "%s()\n", __func__);
	helene_enter_power_save(priv);
	return 0;
}

static int helene_enter_power_save(struct helene_priv *priv)
{
	dev_dbg(&priv->i2c->dev, "%s()\n", __func__);
	if (priv->state == STATE_SLEEP)
		return 0;

	/* Standby setting for CPU */
	helene_write_reg(priv, 0x88, 0x0);

	/* Standby setting for internal logic block */
	helene_write_reg(priv, 0x87, 0xC0);

	priv->state = STATE_SLEEP;
	return 0;
}

As we are emulating some piece of hardware I thought it would be enough to add a simple bool to indicate that the device was sleeping.

This patch was a bit convoluted on my part. Let's iron out the issues you pointed out in v2.
