@plbossart as discussed yesterday this PR is as good as it gets. I find @ujfalusi proposals to group parameter by codec id, e.g [codec_id1, (param_id, value), (param_id, value)], [codec_id2, (param_id,...

will prepare a simpler PR for this.

@LaurentiuM1234 very good description of the issues. Looking at the other drivers I would suggest using `COMP_STATE_PREPARE`. I think the documentation with the diagram state is outdated.

@LaurentiuM1234 can you please capture your last comment inside the commit messages. People usually look at git log when investigating code not at github comments.

thanks @LaurentiuM1234 this also fixes the pause/release problem on i.MX8MP for PCM playback. I will have more testing for compress on Monday then will merge the changes.

> @LaurentiuM1234 this looks all self contained within iMX code, I'm assuming you were satisfied that there were no errors in the core state machine ? Yes.
