Oh, right now I have a fix patch to submit for turning on the runtime
PM behavior upon the audio component registration, essentially for
amdgpu and nouveau. My fix includes the movement of this flag into
hda_bus object, so this patch would become inapplicable (although it's
trivial).
So I can apply this patch with the correction to sound git tree if the
first patch gets ack from PCI maintainers (and they agree to apply
over sound git tree).
In anyway, I'm going to post my patch that will conflict with this.
thanks,
Takashi
