Subject: [PATCH 4.1 18/65] ALSA: hda - Disable widget power-save for VIA codecs

4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit 735c75cf4d434862e38c01dcfb2ce8d2fcb9035f upstream.

The widget power-save that was enabled in 4.1 kernel seems resulting
in the silent output on VIA codecs by some reason.  Some widgets get
wrong power states.

As a quick fix, turn this flag off while keeping power_down_unused
flag.  This will bring back to the state of 4.0.x.

Fixes: 688b12cc3ca8 ('ALSA: hda - Use the new power control for VIA codecs')
