[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: Consider the codec->active also when changing bias level

[Peter Ujfalusi]

Take into account the codec->active (playback/capture activity)
when changing the bias level.

Fixes the following scenario: if during active playback/capture the DAPM
routes has been modified in a way, that there will be no complete route
(for example muting the output) DAPM would set the codec into
BIAS_STANDBY, which could disable the clocks from the codec (codec is
master), which breaks the playback with error since the clocks are
missing from the serial bus and no data is shifted out/in.

With this patch during active use (playback/capture) the DAPM will not
set the bias to STANDBY, thus keeping the playback/capture running.
When no playback/capture is running, the DAPM will handle the complete
paths in a same way it used to: setting the bias to ON/STANDBY based on
complete paths.
