You didn't quote any context here so it's not 100% clear what "this" is...
The context was your question on why the machine driver in patch 3 disables the jack detection in suspend and enables it in resume. I explained back then, that the reason for this handling, is that during suspend with inserted headphones the sound stops working after resume. I couldn't explain back then why that happened but other machine drivers using the same codec also disabled the jack detection during suspend and enabled it during resume.
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.
Sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say here. My intention is to find a way to have sound working when suspending/resuming with jack inserted by not fudging the jack in the machine driver but fixing it in the CODEC.
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.
I don't fully understand the whole bias thing (I did try hard to understand it from the code), but in this specific instance it helps for suspending the CODEC. If idle_bias_on is true then idle_bias_off will be false, that would mean that during suspend (with jack inserted) in snd_soc_suspend() in switch (snd_soc_dapm_get_bias_level(dapm)) the flow goes in case SND_SOC_BIAS_STANDBY and since dapm->idle_bias_off is false it doesn't break from the case but falls through to SND_SOC_BIAS_OFF case which in turn calls the CODEC component's suspend callback.
The reason the sound stops working with jack inserted is that the CODEC suspend callback never gets called. It only gets called when the jack is not inserted.
