[RFC PATCH v6 5/8] ALSA: usb: babyfacepro: add S3 suspend/resume

From: Ismaïl Bahloul

Date: Sat Oct 03 2026 - 15:43:20 EST


The device loses its registers across a system suspend. On suspend,
let the PCM core suspend the substreams (applications get -ESTRPIPE and
restart), then kill the session's URBs before cancelling the stream
work their handlers queue. On resume, re-run the cold init and replay
the cached mixer state and flags.

USB autosuspend stays disabled: nothing in the driver holds a PM
reference while streaming.
