Hm, then your modem codec doesn't follow the compliance.  The
subordinate node count parameter must be supported by any codecs,
according to HD-audio specification.
I suppose your modem has never worked?

If so, the right way to achieve it is to simply deactivate the modem
codec chip, e.g. by creating a blacklist, rather than disabling the
necessary functionalities.
