Change the legacy default register configuration, which left some internal components on. Now we have either DAPM, or other ways to control these bits, so there is no need to enable them by default.
Applied, thanks. Though if they're regular DAPM controls then they should get turned off again during startup if they're not used.
What I have found out is that after boot these bits were set (obviously), after the audio activity, they were cleared (not all, since if the given DAPM control was not in the path, it was left enabled either way). Now these bits are 0 after boot, and only enabled, when a certain path needs it. In short: the overall power consumption was higher after boot, than what was after for example the playback was stopped...
