Hello Takashi,
hello to all of you reading this message.
If wish to thank you all again.
With this patch applied, thesystem is stable.
And the module reports only a small amount of messages:

So it seems all is working fine now. thank you very much for your help and patience.
power_save -> 40

Thank you again,
waiting for further instructions... I would like this to be fixed / fixable in upstream.

hello Tahaski,
hello everyone reading this message.
Thank you for the patience you had with me. Now I finally came to set up this system for crash analysis, compiling the kernel with debug informations and frame pointers and so on. I set up kdump also. Unfortunately, I can get no useful output.
The last things the system wrote before dying have been reconstructed. I noted down decimal values with the help of my mum. She wrote them down on a piece of paper.
I am hitting the following messages:
azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode: last cmd=0x014ba000
azx_get_response timeout, switching to single_cmd mode: last cmd=0x014ba000
It's reading the output amp on NID 0x14, the speaker pin.  It's weird
that such a verb triggers the problem.  Usually the unexpected
behavior is triggered at the widget power up/down.
If the switching to single cmd mode causes an issue, you can disable
by the patch like below.  This may lead to the continuous errors,
though.
