Did you mean: skip to call snd_soc_dapm_set_bias_level() in dapm_pre_sequence_async() and dapm_post_sequence_async()? If so, skipping snd_soc_dapm_set_bias_level() won't fix the issue. The runtime_usage increases in pm_runtime_get() and decreases in pm_runtime_put(). Besides, snd_soc_dapm_set_bias_level() calls card->set_bias_level() and card->set_bias_level_post() if any. Skip to call snd_soc_dapm_set_bias_level() couldn't be a good idea. It may change some existing code behavior.
