Well, the patch was tested by Franz and found working, so it seems
indeed that AFG can be in D3 and the LED still works.

(Actually it could even be the other way around - maybe even the pin can
remain in D3 and still have vref output, as long as the pin ctl is set.
I never tested that explicitly.)

Title:
  Mute LEDs turn off when on battery mode (HP / Realtek)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Some HP machines with Realtek codecs have mute LEDs connected to VREF pins.
  However when these go into runtime suspend, the pin powers down and its
  pin control is disabled, thus disabling the LED too.
