This work around not working for me.

It seems sysfs options for snd_ac97_codec true only for new devices.
It's mean you need reload snd_card_driver to make youse of this changes
 or just
echo "options snd_ac97_codec power_save=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/options

this working for me well.
i don't think this is a bug, the same is for usb_core/autosuspend this
working only for new devices too. Only difference is that every sysfs
usb_device have this options but not sound_devices.

power_save options is experimental and disabled default, so a leak of
explanation in kernel or on powertop webseite is the problem.
