Hrm.  It's not clear that this is the best approach here - it'd mean
that things like the CODEC drivers would need to have two suspend and
resume paths, one for use before the card comes up and one for use
afterwards.  As things stand this will fix whatever problem you are
seeing but will create problems for other systems where we'll stop
suspending devices that need it.

As with your TDM port issue pm_link is going to be really helpful here
once it hits mainline.  Let me have a think about what (if anything) we
can do in the meantime, this area is a little fragile.
