What is amplifier hibernation?
The CS35L45 features a low-power Hibernation State. In this state, all
register contents are lost, but the contents of
RAM are retained. In the Hibernation State, only always-on digital
functions to support wake-up are enabled.
Entry to this state is achieved via the register interface (either by an
external driver using the control port, or the
programmable DSP). Exit from this state is triggered by activity on
device GPIO pins, intended SPI transaction, or I2C
transaction with intended slave address

OK, so it's essentially just a faster mechanism for bringing the device
out of runtime suspend? I would suggest doing something in the code to
clarify that this is not the same thing as system level hibernation,
having references to hibernate in the driver is likely to lead to
confusion down the line. I'd also include a bit more description in the
commit message too.
Please don't top post, reply in line with needed context. This allows
readers to readily follow the flow of conversation and understand what
you are talking about and also helps ensure that everything in the
discussion is being addressed.

I don't think it is a faster way since it requires interaction with DSP
and restoring all wiped registers.
But it saves a some power comparing a low power state in the current driver

The feature is named hibernation in the data sheet. Renaming it in the
driver will add confusing for the driver user.

I will do in next version.

Thanks. I will do.
