[RFC PATCH] ALSA: hda - reset hda link during system/runtime suspend

[RFC PATCH] ALSA: hda - reset hda link during system/runtime suspend

[mengdong.lin]

From: Mengdong Lin <mengdong.lin@intel.com>

If all the codecs report ClkStopOK (OK to stop bus clock) after being put to
D3, this patch will reset the HDA link before the controller is put to D3.

So the link will be in reset during system or runtime suspend, the bus clock
stops and the codecs are in D3(ClkStop) state.

This may help to reduce power consumption by dozens of mW on some peripheral
hda codecs.

Do you have the actually measured result, or is it just a hypothesis?

The patch looks safe, so I'm going to apply it, but would like to know
the influence.


thanks,

Thanks, but there seems to be no such checking of the ClkStopOK as you 
describe in the patch? Or am I missing something?
