thanks Kai-Heng. This indeed explains why the regression is only seen on 
some systems (those with mute/micmute LED).

The commit explanation is a bit long, but this is indeed the problem. 
jackpoll_work() is common code (also used by snd-hda-intel) and SOF should 
align to snd-hda-intel and not call this directly to check jack status,
and especially not when going to system suspend.

There are a lot of details related to exact conditions when this problem 
triggers, but in the end, this is the main point.

This doesn't really affect correctness of the patch, but I'm not sure if 
"accident" is the best characterization. This just explains why the bug 
was not hit in all cases.

snd_hdac_is_power_on() is called in a few places:
 - hda_jackpoll_work()
 - snd_hda_bus_reset_codecs()
 - snd_hda_update_power_acct()

In first two, the current logic seems appropriate (if runtime-pm is 
disabled, the action guarded by is_power_on() should not be taken). The 
third case seems suspicious and not sure if current is_power_on()
is appropriate.

So it's not quite clear whether hdaudio.h:snd_hdac_is_power_on() is
wrong or not. But that's now a separate discussion to have, and not 
related to this patchset anymore.

The commit explanation is a bit long, but it is probably useful to have 
the background included. 

For the whole series:
