I was rather referring to driver point of view. The Qualcomm Soundwire
should work, not expect devices to be powered off during their bind...

The driver wants already to use the regmap in RW just few lines below in
wcd938x_set_micbias_data().

I guess I could move this entire piece of code to other place...

Can you point me to some specific piece of driver, so I could see how it
is done? It might help me to prepare a better patch for this.
