To support more fine-grained control of link power, this patch implements new helper functions for codec drivers to turn codec links up and down. The HDA common suspend/resume code is modified to use the new functions. This allows to fully reuse the driver code both for plain and extended HDA controllers.
Takashi and others, this patch is a follow-up to the earlier thread about hdac link management: https://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2021-January/179715.ht...
We have absolutely no calls from sound/pci/hda/ to hdaudio_ext.h before this patch, so I'm wondering if this is the right approach to take.
It does seem to be the natural path forward and mimics what was done in e.g. hdac_hdmi. But we want to keep reusing driver code for all HDA implementations, so adding hdac-ext support to codec drivers seem like the best path.
Br, Kai
