You didn't quote any context here so it's not 100% clear what "this"
is...

This is saying that the machine driver should disable jack detection
over suspend and restart it during resume. The machine driver should
suspend before the rest of the card which should mean that the CODEC
gets powered off then. The core can't tell if jack detection is
supposed to work over suspend, it is a standard wake event on systems
like phones, but it sounds like on this system the power gets removed
from the device so that can't work.

I don't understand why that would be expected to help? The main effect
of keeping the bias on all the time would be to consume more power.
