I also saw the behavior described in this commit with the rz-ssi.c driver as 
well. The fix there was commit c1b0f5183a44 ("ASoC: renesas: rz-ssi: Use 
NOIRQ_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS()").

In case of this this codec, I saw the code in da7213_runtime_resume() and 
soc_resume_deferred() racing each other on system resume.

You're right! I'll revisit this.

I had no issues with runtime PM, but only with suspend to RAM, when this 
function was called though
struct dev_pm_ops::resume = pm_runtime_force_resume().

Would keeping the regcache_cache_only() + regcache_sync() here along with 
populating the struct snd_soc_component_driver::{suspend, resume} be an 
acceptable solution for you? I think that will work as well.

Thank you for your review,
