ALSA: HDA: add powersaving hook for Realtek
The current Realtek code makes no specific provision for turning stuff off. The codec chip is placed into low-power mode generically, but this doesn't turn off any external hardware connected to it, in particular external amplifiers. This patch creates a hook function that is called by the codec suspend/resume functions. It ought to disable any external hardware in a device-specific way. I've implemented a generic ALC889 function that sets the EAPD pin properly, and used it for the Acer Aspire 8930G which can benefit from this feature. On my laptop, this results in ~0.5W extra savings. Signed-off-by: Hector Martin <hector@marcansoft.com> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
