The previously running Linux would have changed the opmode accidentally,
due to hardware design of PMIC chip, which doesn't allow powering off a
regulator in other way than setting opmode to OFF.
If you provide the "active" opmode to that Linux, after a warm reboot it
will be able to power on such regulator to correct opmode, without
defaulting it incorrectly to NORMAL.
