Thanks!

But, the patch looks like no "rebase".  You secretly added a new
function call that wasn't in your previous patch, namely...

Do we really need this inevitably?  I don't think so -- otherwise I
would have far more bug reports.

This flag is the last resort and should be avoided as much as
possible.  This results in a significant slow down of suspend/resume
speed, for example.

If it's really needed with some devices and there is no other way to
fix it, add this flag rather in the codec-initialization part.

Also, if you resend a patch, please add the original patch description 
again.  This helps my patch work a lot indeed.

thanks,

Takashi
