So I hoped to be able to look at this today, but it turns out the
machine I was thinking of using for testing has an ALC262 codec, which
hardly counts as "new".
Hui, is this something you feel like taking on? Otherwise I'll try to
talk to someone in Taipei.
Anyhow, after reading through the code, I have a question about LEDs. It
could be that if vref is used for controlling a LED, maybe that pin
needs to stay in D0 for the LED to stay lit. Is this correctly handled?
I couldn't find any code specific to that issue, but maybe I just missed it.
Also, I find the power_mgmt name easy to confuse with the existing
power_save parameter, perhaps power_save_pin, power_save_node or
power_save_widget is better?
