Hrm, I suspect this is a result of the second issue.

Other multi-function devices shouldn't have this problem since they
will not be relying on ASoC to resume their control interface (most
likely they will be using MFD to share the device).  It's not safe for
AC97 devices, though.

We only really need the deferral for non-AC97 devices - it's there since
some I2C buses are very slow and non-AC97 codecs often have large
numbers of registers to restore and require delays to bring the codec up
cleanly leading to a substantial impact on overall resume time.

Could you let me know if the patch below works, please?  I've not fully
tested it myself yet.
