Every ALSA driver is calling these for suspend

snd_power_change_state(card, SNDRV_CTL_POWER_D3hot);
snd_pcm_suspend_all(pcm[i]);

And for resume
snd_power_change_state(card, SNDRV_CTL_POWER_D0)


In ALSA ASoC no driver is calling any of this, even not in soc-core.c

My driver is an ASoC driver and I am also not calling these functions

Will this cause any Issue?

Thanks
