You've got these set up on the CODEC platform device rather than the
ASoC CODEC.  This means that the suspend and resume will happen out of
sequence with the rest of the ASoC suspend and resume which could result
in poor performance or bugs if the device is suspended while the core
still thinks it's active.  For example, ASoC will use DAPM to shut down
the CODEC and it's possible that the CODEC could be suspended (and
generate an audible noise) while an external amplifier is still powered,
worsening the problem.
