Just to confirm when we say system suspend here we are talking
about the suspend and resume callbacks in dev_pm_ops? As I am
slightly concerned I have my wires very crossed here.

Assuming I don't have my wires crossed.

There are use-cases were we expect the CODEC to be powered up
across system suspend, is that something we should not expect to
be guaranteed possible? For example compressed off-load or always
on voice.

If these use-cases are expected to be reasonable then it would be
reasonable to assume the regulators would not be removed if a
runtime reference to the CODEC is held. If we can't assume that
then how do we know if we should reset the CODEC?

So I guess we could reset the chip in system resume if no runtime
references are held, but that still has the same problem as
resetting in runtime resume, the chip may have been active
running jack detection and you have just blatted the
settings/state. I guess you could have the extcon driver restore
the settings at least in its system resume, but it really feels
like we are likely to be introducing issues worse than those this
patch is there to fix.

Apologies if I am missing something very basic here. Does this
really need to be done before this patch could be accepted?

Thanks,
Charles
