Oh ... Thanks for finding this.

I thought that a widget which has failed PMU would not go through PMD,
but It seems the return value dapm_seq_check_event is not checked.

This brings another question/problem:
A link which has failed in PMU, could try in PMD to hw_free/shutdown a
dai which has not gone through startup/hw_params, right ?
