I'm fine with those names.  Feel free to submit a proper patch for
upstreaming.

BTW, one more optimization: snd_hda_power_up() / _down() pair can be
replaced with a single call of
	CLASS(snd_hda_power_pm, pm)(codec);

Then snd_hda_power_down() will be automatically called upon its end of
code block.
