Hrm.  I'll have to see how this plays with ASoC core pm_runtime support
when that appears.  It should be OK as-is, I think.

Why pm_suspend_ignore_all_children()?  I'd not expect the device to have
any children and if it did it doesn't seem like an entirely safe
assumption.

This sets off alarm bells but it's perfectly reasonable, especially with
platforms able to put things into a low power state with no explicit
driver code now they can do power domain style things like SH.  I've
CCed in the PM folks since this seems like a perfectly reasonable use
case which ought to be handled more nicely.
