[Wang, Xingchao] Paulo used a new Ultrabook board with charger connected, and
see the default parameter "auto=on".
In such scenario, power-well is always occupied by Display audio controller.
Moreover, in this board, if no external monitors connected,
It's using internal eDP and totally no audio support. Power-well usage in such
case also blocks some eDP features as Paulo told me.
So I think it's not a good idea to break the rule of power policy when charger
connected but it's necessary to add support in this particular case.
Takashi, do you think it's acceptable to let Display audio controller/codec
suspend in such case?
Thanks
