Like I say, if the codec/driver implement any bypass paths (paths that
carry audio from the inputs to the outputs without using the DAC or ADC)
then it'll break those - the device will be brought down to standby when
there is no playback or record going, which will power the bypass paths
down.  If that is an issue then documenting it (ideally with printks for
users) should cover it for now.

If there aren't any bypass paths then it should be fine to leave it
as-is.
