First modification to .../plat-omap/mcbsp.c could be just a patch which
keeps the
clocks on only when needed. I.e. keep them disabled when returning from
request
and activate them only when accessing the McBSP registers or when it is
running.

But that said, I don't know are there some use case or API which requires
active
clocks after request so that should be checked.

Yep, the PM hooks in .../plat-omap/mcbsp.c should take care of saving the
McBSP registers before going into suspend or restore them back when
resuming.
This would be second patch after the clock change patch.

The comment about dynamic PM was an idea that if McBSP could be unpowered
whenever it's not running and do the resume only when calling
omap_mcbsp_start.
But that would be some future improvements after basic suspend/resume
functionality.

Does it go into suspend if the audio is not running (i.e. McBSP not
requested) or
if you don't even compile the McBSP support? I haven't looked are there
checks
for active clocks in PM core but PM is easier to start with bare minimum and
to
see that system can do suspend/resume and then add more features one by one.
