I am not going to block this and ultimately it is Iwai-san call.

However, I wonder if it would be appropriate to move the whole ...

 if (pm_runtime_enabled())
         ret = pm_runtime_get_sync();
 else
         ret = hda_tegra_runtime_resume();

... into the probe_work function? In other words, we are just resuming
when we really need to. Unless I am still misunderstanding Iwai-san
comment. Otherwise if Iwai-san is happy with V2 then go with that.

Cheers
Jon
