When we do DAPM we run one sequence of register updates to implement
power downs and then a second sequence to implement the power ups.  What
you're really asking for here is to have the path update happen between
these two.  I'm not sure if that is any clearer?  This seems like a
totally sensible thing for us to be doing in general.

You're working at the widget level but really this sounds like a global
issue in the sequencing we do - it's fixing one specific use case but
the level it's doing it at makes the change much less generally useful.
