This modification should not be required - a warm reset should be enough
to bring the AC97 link up.  The current ASoC driver for the WM9712 will
do this automatically - the expectation for non-ASoC systems is that the
warm reset will always be issued.

That said, I'd be surprised if it were the same problem given that
iterating cold resets appears to resolve whatever the issues is.
