clock stop is for suspend and clock stop exit for resume. Different
problems.

that's right, in the Intel SoundWire drivers we never prevent the
pm_runtime suspend from happening, and discard any errors. In the resume
step we do a bus reset anyways.

But that's different here, this is the clock stop exit which happens on
resume and IIRC there is no bus reset. If the resume fails, what is the
expected behavior? If you keep going then you are going to have other
issues down the road.
