It should.  snd_ac97_resume() writes the cached value.
Check /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/ac97#*+regs files before and after
suspend.  You can change the codec register value directly via proc
file, e.g.
    # echo 0x12 0x1234 > /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/ac97#0-0+regs
(only when you build with the debug option).

The bit 0x8000 of the power-down register should correspond to LED.
