Here the driver is turning more off for full suspend than in the
runtime path. If that results in significant extra delay then
it's not appropriate to have that in the runtime suspend path.

Maybe the simplification of not doing the deeper power saving
mode is worth the extra power cost or extra delay, but
I'm not yet convinced.

I'll hold off on applying v7 though whilst we discuss this.
