I guess we need the power state transition to D0 also in prepare
callback.  The recovery from suspend doesn't need hw_params call but
just prepare -> trigger.

One could think of implementing into the trigger, but since the
transition needs some delay, prepare callback would be a better
choice, as it seems.
