I don't understand why you need to do anything special. When the eld
notify happens during suspend, the hardware is still fully powered up,
so it should just work(tm) as long as the eld_notify is a synchronous
call and it drops the power reference at the end.

I guess for any get_power after i915 has suspended we'd need to just
reject the get_power call. Or does something force hda to suspend before
and resume after i915 always?
