I don't think the core can safely do this generically, since it doesn't own
the per-event state and read_event_config() may reflect shared hardware state.

The runtime PM accounting is driver-specific, so handling duplicate writes in
the driver seems safer. gp2ap002 does the same in commit 579c049b4cb6,
