Why? IMO it is better to have a single handler for resuming the device
and so if RPM is not enabled we call the handler directly. This is what
we have been advised to do in the past and do in other drivers. See ...

sound/soc/tegra/tegra30_i2s.c

That would be fine with me.

I think that calling hda_tegra_runtime_resume as above is sufficient.
The nice thing about calling the runtime_resume function is that if for
a future device there is something else in addition to clocks, say a
reset, that also needs to be handled, we just added to the
runtime_resume/suspend handlers and we are done.
