I don't see how the subject matches the commit.

I still think what we currently do for the sink power state management
works by coincidence. We should still look into it.

However, I think this series overall (apart from patch 6/8 which really
is a bummer, the comment inline below, and the minor other comments)
looks like worthwhile changes. We can leave the power state management
for later. Or rip it out for now...

This still needs to be addressed somehow. Maybe it's sufficient for
Ville to test with his monitor?
