Hi Takashi,

Probably I didn't express correctly, sorry to make you mis-understand.  
I wanted to express that I tested hda-power and hda-regmap two branches 
respectively, the hda-regmap branch with your patch worked very well, 
but the hda-power branch didn't work on the machines with realtek codec, 
the nodes kept in the D3 power state no matter playing or not.

It seems you enabled the power_save_node for realtek codec several days 
ago, it makes the HDA drivers fail to work on all machines with realtek 
codec.

Regards,
Hui.
