Only from my personal taste, I find the v2 patch is better.
It like simpler, after all.  That is, the code in v1 patch

	probe() {
		....
		pm_runtime_enable();
		....
		if (!pm_runtime_enabled())
			hda_tegra_runtime_resume();
		schedule_work();
	}

	work() {
		pm_runtime_get_sync();
		....
		pm_runtime_put();
	}

becomes shorter in v2:

	probe() {
		....
		hda_tegra_enable_clocks();
		schedule_work();
	}

	work() {
		....
		pm_runtime_enable();
	}


However, the point about hda_tegra_remove() you raised in the v2 patch
is still valid.  (BTW, I guess the discussion followed in that thread
was somehow misunderstood; your argument was about hda_tegra_remove()
while Sameer discussed about the probe.)  It can be with
hda_tegra_disable_clocks() if we want more consistency.

Though, I don't mind too much about that as long as the proper comment
is given.
