I don't think that's correct. vsp1_pipeline_ready() returns true if there is 
at least one buffer queued for every RPF and WPF in the pipeline. This can be 
the case at resume time, as suspending the VSP doesn't affect buffer queues.

If power to the VSP is cut during suspend then I don't see how 
vsp1_pipelines_resume() could work. Seems like something is seriously 
broken... Should we move vsp1_pipelines_resume() to vsp1_video.c, rename it to 
vsp1_video_pipelines_resume(), and use vsp1_video_pipeline_run() instead of 
vsp1_pipeline_run() ? That would keep all the logic in vsp1_video.c and allow 
for the configured flag to be stored in struct vsp1_video along with 
stream_config.

As explained in my review of v10, I think you'll then end up reconfiguring 
everything for every frame. The VSP should remain functional, but with a bit 
of a performance degradation.

Seems like we need a suspend/resume test that cuts power from the VSP.
