Yes it was the point.

Maybe I misunderstood the regulator binding, but I thought
that (once the suspend will be available on this platform) I
could use:

regulator-state-mem {
			regulator-off-in-suspend;
		};

That's why I didn't use it

But if regulator-always-on prevent to switch it off in
suspend then yes using regulator-boot-on is better.
