So, what's happening is that once the mic is removed, there's no active path
in the whole codec, so everything gets shut down, including CLK_SYS.
In turn, this means that mic detection doesn't work, so when the mic gets
plugged back in, that event is not noticed, and nothing gets re-enabled.

If I am playing a stream at the same time as recording, that solves (hides)
the problem, since the codec is active and CLK_SYS stays enabled.

I found that if I revert:

ASoC: Dynamically manage CLK_SYS in WM8903

That also fixes the issue. I'm not entirely clear why though; perhaps there
are simply missing entries in the route map for CLK_SYS to mic-related
widgets?
