[alsa-devel] [PATCH 2/2] ASoC: Don't bring the CODEC up to full power for supplies and biases

[Mark Brown]

If the only widgets active within a CODEC are supplies and micbiases we
are not passing audio, we are probably just doing microphone detection.
This will not generally require either fully accurate reference voltages
or much power so

If this turns out to be unsuitable for some systems we can provide a
facility to override this decision.
