[Rajeev]:
Is it necessary to  implement DAPM?
When I checked the command value (cmd part ) in trigger function it is 1 
(SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START ) , in case system get resumes
  and an 0 (SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_STOP) in case system goes in suspend mode.
In trigger start for cpu(i2s) i am enabling all the register value and 
in case of stop just clearing all the bit.
Please find below the code for trigger function for platform and cpu part.

For i2s trigger
============
static int
  dw_i2s_trigger(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream, int cmd,
                  struct snd_soc_dai *dai)
  {
          struct dw_i2s_dev *dev = snd_soc_dai_get_drvdata(dai);
          int ret = 0;

          switch (cmd) {
          case SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START:
                  dev->active++;
                  if (substream->stream == SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK)
                          i2s_start_play(dev, substream);
                  else
                          i2s_start_rec(dev, substream);
          case SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_RESUME:
          case SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_PAUSE_RELEASE:
                  break;

          case SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_STOP:
          case SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_SUSPEND:
          case SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_PAUSE_PUSH:
                  i2s_stop(dev, substream);
                  break;
          default:
                  ret = -EINVAL;
                  break;
          }
          return ret;
  }

For platform trigger
=================
static int spear13xx_pcm_trigger(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream, 
int cmd)
  {
          struct spear13xx_runtime_data *prtd = 
substream->runtime->private_data;
          int ret = 0;

          switch (cmd) {
          case SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START:
                  prtd->frag_count = -1;
                  tasklet_schedule(&prtd->tasklet);
                  break;
          case SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_STOP:
          case SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_PAUSE_PUSH:
          case SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_SUSPEND:
          chan->device->device_control(chan, DMA_TERMINATE_ALL, 0); /* 
terminate all the  DMA transfer */
                  break;
          case SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_PAUSE_RELEASE:
          case SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_RESUME:
                  break;
          default:
                  ret = -EINVAL;
          }
          return ret;
  }

one more point I would like to mention that there is no any 
suspend/resume function I have implemented in the cpu driver
as i thought this is handled by the framework itself.Am I correct?

Best Regards
Rajeev
