The CODEC driver is broken, it shouldn't be powering off on idle if it
takes a second to ramp, it should be leaving VMID up while the system is
running - this is what the _STANDBY bias level is all about.  Look at
what older CODEC drivers like the wm8731 do.

This is why we've got the digital_mute() callback - the idea is that the
output is just going to be discarded until the interface has had a
chance to settle down.
