+ MORE NOTES ON "azx_get_response timeout" PROBLEMS:
+ On some hardwares, you may need to add a proper probe_mask option
+ to avoid the "azx_get_response timeout" problem above, instead.
+ This occurs when the access to non-existing or non-working codec slot
+ (likely a modem one) causes a stall of the communication via HD-audio
+ bus. You can see which codec slots are probed by enabling
+ CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_DETECT, or simply from the file name of the codec
+ proc files. Then limit the slots to probe by probe_mask option.
+ For example, probe_mask=1 means to probe only the first slot, and
+ probe_mask=4 means only the third slot.

The power-management is supported.
