Hmm.  This sounds rather like the approach using the direct-complete
isn't well suited for the purpose?  The increasing number of
regression reports worries me.

I find the ping-pong of the resume/suspend there a bit odd.  It's no
refcount management but it invokes the real resume there, which is
involved with lots of operations.

Can we rather skip the hda_codec_suspend() call instead (while
changing dev->power.power_state)?
