This one is complicated.

The change of the trigger order is required in order to avoid DMA underflows.

But if you make this change, this exposes another issue in the firmware that leads to the a panic on some platforms (I couldn't reproduce it myself on a WHL HDAudio+dmic device), and unfortunately the fix for this DSP panic is not in the released 1.3 firmware.

With this proposal from Jaroslav, users of the older firmware will not see the panic but they are still facing potential underflows.

So long story short, I don't mind if we add this patch to solve the DSP panic, but there should be a clear explanation in the commit message that this is far from ideal and that an update to 1.4 is really desirable.

We may also need to look at different ways to identify the firmware, in this case the problem is not due to the ABI proper but a change in the timing sequences, we may need a different sort of ID here?
