All PCM streams are supposed to be moved to SUSPENDED state when the suspend happens. Keeping other states don't guaratee the proper resume process. The problem of ali5451 driver was that it forgot to call snd_power_change_state() at the end of suspend callback. This was already fixed. So, don't apply this patch, please.
