It was these diffs for dapm_seq_run:

		/* Do we need to apply any queued changes? */
-		if (sort[w->id] != cur_sort || w->reg != cur_reg) {
+		if (sort[w->id] != cur_sort || w->reg != cur_reg ||
+		    w->dapm != cur_dapm) {
 			if (!list_empty(&pending))
 				dapm_seq_run_coalesced(dapm, &pending);

So if DAPM is different the dapm_seq_run_coalesced is run now and next
iterations are done for another DAPM context.

Looking at this now I think I can leave out dapm_seq_run_coalesced
changes by changing the line above to
dapm_seq_run_coalesced(cur_dapm, &pending). I'll check it for the
next version.

Good notes. I'll change them.
