Please revert 400362f1d8dcfda3562e80e88cfc2a92cffaf9bf

Hi,
Sorry for posting on linux-kernel but from my experience nobody ever 
looks at the kernel bug tracker and I would like to get it fixed before 
3.15 gets released.

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75671

It's funny to read "Still no boot quirks are called, *so it might not 
work well on some devices*" in the commit description: 
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=400362f1d8dcfda3562e80e88cfc2a92cffaf9bf
Why does code known to be broken hit the Linus tree? Every new kernel 
release there is something broken to bisect, it doesn't matter if you 
wait for the stable release or not. That's frustrating for an end user.

Thanks,
Niccolò

The bug was already fixed recently in the latest Linus tree or sound
git tree.

The sentence was misread: "it might not work" just means that it's not
tested by these specific devices.  It doesn't mean that it's known to
be broken for these devices at all.  They should still work as is via
reset_resume invocation.
