to power up or may power down. The controller should check the all
belonging codecs on the bus whether they are actually powered off
(check codec->power_on), and optionally the driver may power down the

Codec Access
============
To access codec, use snd_codec_read() and snd_codec_write().
To access codec, use snd_hda_codec_read() and snd_hda_codec_write().
snd_hda_param_read() is for reading parameters.
For writing a sequence of verbs, use snd_hda_sequence_write().
There are variants of cached read/write, snd_hda_codec_write_cache(),
snd_hda_sequence_write_cache(). These are used for recording the
register states for the power-mangement resume. When no PM is needed,
these are equivalent with non-cached version.
To retrieve the number of sub nodes connected to the given node, use
snd_hda_get_sub_nodes(). The connection list can be obtained via
snd_hda_get_connections() call.

The suspend and resume callbacks are for power management.
They can be NULL if no special sequence is required. When the resume
callback is NULL, the driver calls the init callback and resumes the
registers from the cache. If other handling is needed, you'd need to
write your own resume callback. There, the amp values can be resumed
via
void snd_hda_codec_resume_amp(struct hda_codec *codec);
and the other codec registers via
void snd_hda_codec_resume_cache(struct hda_codec *codec);
The check_power_status callback is called when the amp value of the
given widget NID is changed. The codec code can turn on/off the power
appropriately from this information.
