Of course, I don't like this :)

The patch essentially disables the codec reset in *all* cases after a
codec is probed. This smells badly of a future regression.

FWIW, you can set a forced codec probe mask in probe_mask_list[].
The bit 0x100 means to force the detection.

But, before going that direction, could you clarify how this fixes the
probing at all? Which azx_init_chip() calls hinders the probing of an
active codec?

thanks,

Takashi
