Yes, these seems to be a wider problem with these complex CODECs
that have an internal LDO. Changing to async probe, means the
internal LDO driver doesn't probe before the code in the main MFD
carries on, which means the regulator framework finds no driver
and swaps in the dummy. Which means the CODEC never powers up.
I think these basically have to be forced sync, I will do a patch
to update the other devices working like this.
Thanks,
Charles
