This isn't what your code does...

Your changelog doesn't explain what the actual problem is here...  I can
see it by studying the diff but the changelog makes me think the change
is bad as the subsystem shuts everything down before it enters CODEC
suspend...

This doesn't keep the crystal oscillator enabled, this forces it on in
suspend (and without looking at the datasheet it also changes way more
than the one register bit I'd expect to be changed).  If the system
isn't using the oscillator then that's not good.

I'd expect to see a change to using snd_soc_update_bits() based on your
description, or more likely something more involved.

This should be handled as part of the bias level managemnent and cache
sync, if the disable happens in bias level management so should the
restore.
