Not actually. I am not saving anything to be restored after suspend.
There are few things (configuring CFG regs and enabling interrupts),
which are done earlier on alloc_channels. As this will not be called after
resume, so we need to set them again.

What i have done is, removed all this stuff from alloc channels and moved it
to dwc_dostart(). Here, i am checking if channel is already programmed or not.
If not (Can happen only in two cases: On resume and other on fresh channel alloc),
i configure them. So there is no save/restore actually done.
