Hrm.  This doesn't look right.  dapm_set_pga() is only called from
within the DAPM power updates so we should've taken the codec mutex much
further up the stack otherwise all the DAPM list walking and updating
will have issues.  Was this just from code inspection or are you running
into actual issues?
