No, wm8994 is level triggered only - the edge triggering stuff there is
to work around some SoCs that could only support edge triggering and not
level triggering.  Is this a similar issue or is there something else
going on, what's the differeence with a level triggered scheme?

Modern systems should be able to use deferred probing to resolve these
dependencies, subsys_initcall() is mostly there for legacy reasons and
new systems ought to be able to move away from it.
