In case of a suspend, we are stopping an ongoing transfer and disabling the interface.
In case I add clock disable and anything else to unprepared too, it will be a cleaner 
exit but it will still stop the transfer right? What do you suggest?
Should we wait for transfer to complete or a timeout to occur?
