During the bootup of the kernel, as soon as the DAPM framework kicks in it pushes the codec into standy mode.

The existing TVL320AIC32x4 codec driver doesn't prepare the clock in the probe function. This leads to an OOPS when the DAPM tries to put it into standy by calling clk_disable_unprepare()

This patch fixes that problem.

This isn't the best way of fixing this because it makes it look like there's a missing disable in the removal process. What would be better would be to do what other drivers do and check to see what state we're transitioning from before we disable the clock in set_bias_level(). See drivers like wm8903.c for examples.
