OK, then could you check which call in azx_stop_chip() is critical?
You can comment out each and check the difference.

This is the problem. If it's a fast call like azx_int_clear() or
azx_int_enable(), it can be relatively easily done at each time.
But, it's like freeing memories, it shouldn't be done at each
operation.
