The audio components do not block deeper idle states in the
hardware. So the driver needs to use PM QoS to prevent glitches,
see for example what was done in commit 9834ffd1ecc3 ("ASoC:
omap-mcbsp: Add PM QoS support for McBSP to prevent glitches").
I guess you need to do it for mcpdm in this case?
