Subject: [ 34/79] ALSA: hda/via - Disable broken dynamic power control

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

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

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

commit 087c2e3b4e062573dbbc8a50b9208992e3768dcf upstream.

Since the transition to the generic parser, the actual routes used
there don't match always with the assumed static paths in some
set_widgets_power_state callbacks.  This results in the wrong power
setup in the end.  As a temporary workaround, we need to disable the
calls together with the non-functional dynamic power control enum.
