Actually, there is no bug. The use case is more to do with self test
mode. After running some audio tests to verify different audio paths
(i.e handset mode), self test application would like to trigger codec 
reset interface to restore CODEC default state. I was told that there 
are already ASOC CODEC drivers offering such interface. I want to see 
how this use case is handled by other CODEC drivers especially if 
command comes during playback/capture.

Thanks
