Turn on logging does not helping in giving any extra information in this 
case. Backtracing the code gives me the line number. Please find below 
the information.

The problem occur only when I want to put system into hibernation 
otherwise it is working fine.
When the system put into hibernation mode snd_soc_dapm_shutdown  routine 
is called from snd_soc_poweroff function.

static void soc_dapm_shutdown_codec(struct snd_soc_dapm_context *dapm)
3540 {
3541         struct snd_soc_dapm_widget *w;
3542         LIST_HEAD(down_list);
3543         int powerdown = 0;
3544
3545         list_for_each_entry(w, &dapm->card->widgets, list) {
3546                 if (w->dapm != dapm)
3547                         continue;
3548                 if (w->power) {
3549                         dapm_seq_insert(w, &down_list, false);
3550                         w->power = 0;
3551                         powerdown = 1;
3552                 }
3553         }


If you check line number 3545, it is trying to get widget from card.
and the system get crashed as there is no entry for dapm in the card.

As I mentioned previously, I have provided widgets support only at codec 
level not at platform/machine level. So extracting widgets from card may 
create an issue.

Note:
Just to make an experiment, I have added a single widget in machine 
driver then also I am getting the same crash log.

I have a single bit for power bridge ONN/OFF in a given register. I am 
handling this bit with  SND_SOC_BIAS_OFF and SND_SOC_BIAS_ON.
