The implementation in twl6040 looks similar to the one in the wm8350 in 
regards to the ramp code, and caching of the user configured gains.

If you take a look at the wm8350 driver it is also changing the L/R OUT 1/2 
registers at probe time.
I don't see any difference in the two.
Also it seams that wm8350 has the same problem:
The default after the reset is 0x39 (0 dB)
In the wm8350 probe it is changed to 0x00 (-57dB)

The twl6040 already had the ramp up, and down code, but it was missing the 
initialization part (IOW configuring the lowest gain on the outputs after 
first power on).

We do have other scenarios covered, but this initialization was missing. This 
resulted that the _first_ playback has pop noise, but all subsequent playbacks 
were fine, since we had the runtime fix for this.
