ALSA: hda: Fix unhandled register update during auto-suspend period
It's reported that the recording started right after the driver probe doesn't work properly, and it turned out that this is related with the codec auto-suspend. Namely, after the probe phase, the usage count goes zero, and the auto-suspend is programmed, but the codec is kept still active until the auto-suspend expiration. When an application (e.g. alsactl) updates the mixer values at this moment, the values are cached but not actually written. Then, starting arecord thereafter also results in the silence because of the missing unmute. The root cause is the handling of "lazy update" mode; when a mixer value is updated *after* the suspend, it should update only the cache and exits. At the resume, the cached value is written to the device, in turn. The problem is that the current code misinterprets the state of auto-suspend as if it were already suspended. Although we can add the check of the actual device state after pm_runtime_get_...
