Yes, that is some rather poor hardware design there, the chip has
a bunch of volatile status bits mixed in with a bunch of
non-volatile control bits in the same register. It would seem
the problem is likely the two widgets TEMP_HP and TEMP_SPK.

Probably the simplest solution would be to add an event handler
for TEMP_HP and TEMP_SPK and move the register handling in there,
if there is no register specified on the widgets the core will
not attempt to read it on probe and will assume the widget is
off. Although you will also need to turn them off during probe as
they do default to on.

Is that something you are comfortable writing a patch for or do
you want me to have a look at pulling one together for you?
Although note this might take a few days and I don't have hardware
to test it here.

Thanks,
Charles
