That does not seem to be possible here :(

The codec takes the clock from modem. The codec doesn't have control
over it. The voice call termination kills the clock and the DAPM power
down produces noticeable artifacts.

Since this is board property, machine driver should tell DAPM to power
down immediately for this DAI alone. That of course allows us to reap
benefits of DAPM not power cycling codec during close/open.
