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_if_in_use() for catching the missing state, this won't
suffice; the second call of regmap_update_bits_check() will skip
writing the register because the cache has been already updated by the
first call. So we'd need fixes in two different places.
OTOH, a simpler fix is to replace pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() with
pm_runtime_get_if_active() (with ign_usage_count=true). This change
implies that the driver takes the pm refcount if the device is still
in ACTIVE state and continues the processing. A small caveat is that
this will leave the auto-suspend timer. But, since the timer callback
itself checks the device state and aborts gracefully when it's active,
this won't be any substantial problem.
Long story short: we address the missing register-write problem just
by replacing the pm_runtime_*() call in snd_hda_keep_power_up().
