Takashi, AFAIK with legacy Intel HDA you are always setting
suspend_delay to 0 ("PM off") or some value in seconds. So I don't 
even know how you would configure immeadiate suspend with legacy HDA.

With SOF we we're able to cause this immediate suspend for the codec by
not calling any HDA delay setting function (sof probe vs. intel hda
probe).
 
This has been working so far, but we noticed that Mic Jack detection
with some codecs didn't like this immediate suspend and we also got
some informal info from Realtek folks that the reason could be the
quick suspend. And indeed if I set HDA suspend delay from SOF 
to SOF default 2s or 0 (PM off) the Mic Jack starts to work.

So setting the delay from SOF solves the Mic Jack issue, but there is 
static "default power save" function in hda_intel.c, which involves 
PM quirks and value set in CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT. So I
would like to call this function and not duplicate the quirks in SOF
code. Not sure if these platforms in the quirks will ever run SOF
though...
