I just followed the logic from sof_es8336.c, the reason for the change
there is given in commit log of 89cdb224f2abe37ec:

commit 89cdb224f2abe37ec4ac21ba0d9ddeb5a6a9cf68

    ASoC: sof_es8336: reduce pop noise on speaker
    
    The Speaker GPIO needs to be turned on slightly behind the codec turned on.
    It also need to be turned off slightly before the codec turned down.
    Current code uses delay in DAPM_EVENT to do it but the mdelay delays the
    DAPM itself and thus has no effect. A delayed_work is added to turn on the
    speaker.
    The Speaker is turned off in .trigger since trigger is called slightly
    before the DAPM events.

Same reason as above, just followed the logic in sof_es8336.c

Sorry, I didn't run lockdep before sending the patches, I will rework
the locking code.
