This patch causes an across-the-board regression on all SOF platforms
using an HDaudio or iDISP codec. Only 'nocodec' platforms are
unaffected, see results at
https://sof-ci.01.org/linuxpr/PR3763/build394/devicetest/

Reverting this commit seems to fix the issue.

Upstream merge:

I don't know what this was supposed to fix on the shutdown path but it's
clearly having side effects on the probe/init path.
