This comes from the design, we first create a bunch of devices based on ACPI information, which causes the drivers to probe. Then when the bus starts, codecs that are physically present on the bus will attach and be initialized in the update_status callback. It's perfectly acceptable for devices to be exposed in ACPI and not be present on a board. The bus wouldn't know what is needed. I am still not clear on what the "early card registration" issue might be. Can you clarify which codec registers are accessed in that case, are those supposed to be managed with regmap? one possibility is that we need to make sure the codec drivers are in regmap cache_only probe at the probe time, that may prevent this sort of uncontrolled register access. I had a PR on this that I haven't touched in a while, see [1] I do recall some issues with the codec jacks, where if the card registration happens too late the codec might have suspended. But we added pm_runtime_resume_and_get in the set_jack_detect callbacks, so that was solved. [1] https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/pull/3941
