I tried to mixed up some changes that's the reason.
Ok if needed next version will be Patch V3.

Like I mention in the patch summary that this.

  Regulators which can be turned off during system suspend:
-LDOn : 2, 6-8, 10-12, 14-16,
-BUCKn : 1-4.
  Use standard regulator bindings for it ('regulator-off-in-suspend').

Ok I have been testing with following regulator debug prints to catch error.
[0] max77686-regulator.patch

below is the console logs during suspend and resume.

Thanks but I am not the expert here in general with regulator on/off.
I will add comment if needed explain in more detail.

On MAX77686A PMIC. (some quote from the datasheet).

Power ON/OFF by PWRREQ in PMIC=ON sequence is only effective when ON/OFF
on all regulators above are assigned by PWRREQ=H/L.

All programming must be done before the AP enters the sleep mode by
pulling PWRREQ low since
the AP does not have programming capability in (deep) sleep mode.

*Regulator are not really turned off but set into IDLE  / Standby
state too be restored to Normal state*

As per above table of MAX77686 PWRREQ capabilities regulator nodes
can be turned off during suspend reset of them remain on during suspend.

We could monitor the regulator states via sys filesystem and also
using below tool
https://git.linaro.org/power/powerdebug.git

I have tried to summaries the feature required for this patch.
some of which I have overlooked earlier before sending the patch.

I am really poor in english for transform / interpreter the technical details
required at for your queries. But I will try to improve my self in the future.
