Humm, yes, but you've also made the regmap cache-only, so is there
really a problem?

FWIW I don't see a startup callback in any other codec driver. It may be
wrong but it's also a sign that this isn't a problem we've seen so far
on existing Intel-based platforms.

You lost me here. Are you saying the soundwire bus clock is only known
in the prepare stage?

I'll see if we can simplify the other codec drivers.

ah, interesting. Other codec drivers play with specific registers that
aren't in regmap. There's also headset calibration that's done
differently in the first init or later.
