oops, must have forgotten that, and had good luck here.

Looking at Ishdn on page 5 of the datasheet, switching it off everytime
possible seems not needed. We would need to call chip_init() everytime
we enable the gpio or live with default values.
Therefore I did decide to not put it into any power management path. But
switching it on and not switching it off feels so unbalanced.
