During suspend/resume, there is a flow that if a driver does not support SNDRV_PCM_INFO_RESUME, it will fail at snd_pcm_resume(), and user space can then issue SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE to let audio continue to play.
However, in dpcm_be_dai_prepare() it only allows BEs to be prepared in state SND_SOC_DPCM_STATE_HW_PARAMS or SND_SOC_DPCM_STATE_STOP. The BE state will then stay in SND_SOC_DPCM_STATE_SUSPEND, consequently dpcm_be_dai_shutdown() is skipped in the end of playback and be_substream->runtime is not cleared while this runtime is actually freed by snd_pcm_detach_substream(). If another suspend comes, a NULL pointer dereference will happen in snd_pcm_suspend() when accessing BE substream's runtime.
