Overall this looks really good, just a couple of comments:

SPDX headers need to be C++ comments - please make the entire comment
block a C++ one so it looks more intentional.

This puts the device into low power mode when the suspend function gets
called but this might not be safe - devices using the regulator may not
be suspended yet so could still need full regulation.  Normally a GPIO
triggered transition like this would be being done by hardware as part
of the process of suspending the SoC.  Is there some reason to do this
manually?
