[BUG 2.6.15-git5] new alsa power management completly broken

[Patrizio Bassi]

With 2.6.15: suspend works but on resume mixer volumes are not restored
(registers not saved), so you need to restart your alsa script.
boring but working.

with 2.6.15-git5 i saw a new power management part. lt's test it:

suspending...

25 times....about half on suspending and about half on restarting.


now restarting..

Jan 10 08:44:51 blight kernel: pnp: Failed to activate device 00:0a.
Jan 10 08:44:51 blight kernel: pnp: Device 00:0b activated.
Jan 10 08:44:51 blight kernel: Restarting tasks... done

device can't play any sound, as before. so i tried the usual solution
(restart the alsasound script in gentoo)

Jan 10 08:45:45 blight rc-scripts: WARNING:  you are stopping a boot
service.
Jan 10 08:45:47 blight kernel: codec write timeout, status = 0x660
Jan 10 08:46:33 blight last message repeated 64 times
Jan 10 08:46:57 blight last message repeated 199 times

as you can see it flood the syslog with 0x660 errors.
infact if i try to adjust the volume via alsamixer the volume level
moves soooo slow (it's flooding syslog)

so actually power resume is completly broken. the only way is restarting
the kernel via a reboot (built-in alsa).

Ready to test patches.

Thanks.
