Hi Martin,

Thank you for the patch.

The driver shouldn't need to stop streaming at system suspend time. It
should have had its .s_stream(0) operation called and shouldn't be
streaming anymore. If that's not the case, there's an issue somewhere
else, which should be fixed. The code that stops streaming at system
suspend and restarts it at system resume should then be dropped from
this driver.
