The init order of the modules is wrong in case the driver is
being built in-tree.

The init function of module most_sound is called before the
core itself is being initialized.

[    5.179189] most_sound: init()
[    5.180205] mostcore: __init()

Hence the list used in the core to store and track the
registered components has not been initialized with
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&comp_list) by the time the sound module
tries to register itself with the core.

The Kconfig of most_sound, however, has a dependency to
MOST. How can the build system be forced to initialize the
core module first?

thanks,
Chris
