We can see many drivers set widgets ignoring suspend. I will remove the linux specifics and focus on the key concept. How about the modification on the property name and description as following: ignore-suspend-widgets: description: | A list of audio sound widgets which are marked ignoring system suspend. Paths between these endpoints are still active over suspend of the main application processor that the current operating system is running. Regards, Chancel Liu
