Indeed can be seen as an optimization, but it does unexpected things
which can cause trouble

and weird behavior for people not familiar with the matter.

For example, as explained in the commit message if you only provide

System PM handler but not runtime PM handler, then the DSP will be resetted

even if this is not the intention.
