There's a link from CLK_SYS to Mic Bias so if Mic Bias is enabled then
CLK_SYS should be kept up too.  However, it looks like the core DAPM
logic is getting this wrong and the force enable is only applying to the
immediate widget.  In the case of a supply widget this is clearly the
wrong thing to do.  I'll send out a patch for this shortly.
