Well, maybe my question wasn't clear.  What I meant was that your
change below

>  	ret = snd_hda_power_up_pm(codec);
> -	if (ret < 0 && pm_runtime_suspended(hda_codec_dev(codec)))

can be rather like:

> +	if (dev->power.runtime_status == RPM_SUSPENDING)
> +		return;
>  	ret = snd_hda_power_up_pm(codec);
>	if (ret < 0 && pm_runtime_suspended(hda_codec_dev(codec)))

so that it skips unneeded power up/down calls.

Basically the state is set at drivers/base/power/runtime.c
rpm_suspend() just before calling the device's runtime_suspend
callback.  So the state is supposed to be same before and after
snd_hda_power_up_pm() in that case.
