How about:
route_change_before_powerup

A bit long, but this describes well the meaning.

I think it is kind of silly to have a function, which just sets this flag, and I 
think having yet another DAPM widgets for this type is again a bad idea.
Do we have helper function, which can find a widget by name, and return the 
pointer to the snd_soc_dapm_widget?
I think if we have that, drivers can use that to get the widget they want to 
change the power up order, and set this flag.
If we ever need other new flags for widgets, this can be used for that purpose.
We could have an inline function, which uses the dapm_find_widget(), and sets 
the flag, to minimize duplicated code all over the place.

So I can move the flag per widget, and we are going to have pretty interface 
too.

What do you think?
