That's possible.  It might be that an access to an unsupported widget
may trigger the unexpected behavior of the codec chip and the
communication is disturbed.

Maybe it's worth to trace which verb call triggers the communication
breakage.  (BTW, for testing, you should concentrate only on audio
codec, so skip modem codec via probe_mask option.)
