This was on a HSW.

I also have CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT=1 which I presume should
enable codec power saving by deafault?

There's no desktop environment. Well, unless you count systemd as such.
As you can see from the log I included at least the pci device power/control
file stayed at 'auto' the whole time until I flipped it to 'on' and then
back to 'auto' to fix the problem.

Also the problem didn't happen on every reload AFAICS, so there's
something rather non-deterministic happening.
