Definitely can,

 1. open hotwording pcm with arecord in non-blocking mode
      * Codec won't send any data over SPI until the hotword is detected
 2. put system into S3 (see order of callbacks as follows)

Before we start digging into dependencies below, is it really possible to enter S3 with the hotwording open? I vaguely remember being told that such cases would be trapped by the Chrome userspace and the PCM would be closed. I don't think anyone on the SOF team testing this case for newer platform, so that case on an old platform makes me nervous.

     1. HSW DSP suspended which suspends stops I2S MCLK
     2. RT5677 suspended, all pm writes are lost due to the fact that
        the codec is still in DSP mode but has no clock

there's no real dependency or parent-child relationship between the two drivers, is there? so I am wondering if this order is intentional or just accidental. The only thing I can think of is that there are multiple steps during the system suspend and maybe we can play with .suspend_late instead of .suspend?

 3. System resumes and fails to restore the RT5677 due to the fact that
    the regmap is now out of sync

The rt5677 needs to suspend before the haswell dsp but I am not sure how to schedule that appropriately. The reason this worked in Samus is because it launched with a 3.14 kernel which did not have 0d2135ecadb0b2eec5338a7587ba29724ddf612b ("ASoC: Intel: Work around to fix HW D3 potential crash issue") which powers down the MCLK when the haswell DSP is not in use.

Hope that clears things up.
