Unfortunately the proper OMAP ASoC suspend/resume functionality is still
missing and the development progress has been slow. There are few
issues in low-level McBSP code like proper clock management,
context save/restore, how to deal with the FIFO, etc. and those should
be addressed first.

Fortunately Janusz Krzysztofik has been cleaning up and developing the
register cache support in McBSP and that work could help the PM work as
well. Clock management changes don't look complicated but just requires
that one develops it.
