Possibly, though given the way DAPM processes those arrays I'd be a bit
surprised if it made a difference.  More likely to be that the bypass
paths is one of the simpler and more direct paths in the CODEC.

I noticed something similar while developing a new driver the other day
but didn't get a chance to chase it down yet.  It's likely something got
confused, possibly with the recent changes to propagate DAPM state
between contexts, but that's just a guess as it's the most invasive
thing that happened there recently.

I'm on holiday tomorrow so can't have a proper look at live systems - if
you've not got anywhere by Monday I should be able to sort it then.
