Hi Mark,

I am so sorry for missing this letter. 
You are right. When PM is disabled, the codec will not work. But there are also 
some codecs enable mclk in PM, such as wm8962, cs42xx8.
And some codecs enable codec mclk in i2c probe(), startup() and 
set_bias_level(). It makes me confused. 
Can you tell me what's the general idiom to enable mclk. Thanks.


Best Regards,
Zidan

This isn't going to work if PM is disabled (which is still a valid 
configuration).  The general idiom for this is that the driver should start up 
with everything powered up then let runtime idle turn things off if they're not 
required.  That way if runtime PM is disabled then the system will still work 
as everything will just stay powered on all the time.
