bisect given me this commit:
commit 35c64bcad5c8244d973efbf7e58f6e0e09635504

    ASoC: Ensure all DAPM widgets have a power check callback
    
    Makes the code simpler.

So this means we had this issue masked by the if (!w->power_check).
Since machine drivers rarely add mixers/muxes the issue has not been really
seen.
We tend to add _SPK, _HP, and stuff like that...

But I have checked the commit before this one. While it is not crashing the
kernel it does ignores the machine added DAPM widgets. They did not power on
(they used to power on). Based on this commit this is expected behavior.

The bisected commit just masked the underlaying issue.
