Note that tlv320dac32 != tlv320dac33, they are not even register
compatible devices... dac33 was created _for_ Nokia back in the days and
as far as I know there is no publicly available documentation for dac33.

And yes, my pick to use power_gpio in the code was wrong, it should have
been named as reset_gpio.
