[alsa-devel] [RFC PATCH] ALSA: hda - add support for runtime power management

Okay. I'll remove snd_printd(). Thanks for pointing out this.

I'm not sure if the IRQ reassignment can be removed and I'll double check this.

snd_pcm_suspend_all() should not be called in azx_runtime_suspend(), since there is no active PCM streams when ready for runtime suspend. I'll remove it. 


> - Are snd_power_change_state() calls needed for runtime PM?
I think this is needed. It's because HW is actually in D3 when it's runtime suspended and need a delay for transition back to D0. And there are operations that need HW in D0, such as snd_pcm_prepare().

Thanks again!
