Subject: Audio crackles with 4.1-rc1

Having upgraded to 4.1-rc1 from 4.0 I'm now hearing audio crackles at
regular intervals. I'm fairly sure this is due to the HDA power save as
once audio is playing things are fine, it's just when starting to play
audio that I hear the crackle.

System is a Dell Latitude E7240. I haven't tried a bisect yet but will
attempt to find some time to do so in the next few days. It looks like
there have been some changes in sound/hda/ between 4.0 + 4.1-rc1 so I'll
concentrate on those first.

Hopefully relevant dmesg output for the device:

I have:

CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT=600

set in my kernel config. There's no dmesg output around the times when
the crackling is occurring.
