post_disable
Hi Doug,
Thank you for the patch.

I'm less hopeful than you are on this, changing the order of operations
is very risky. I'm also concerned about hardware damage, the pre-enable
operation is often used to power up devices, and powering up a source
before a sink is dangerous as many devices don't like having I/O voltage
applied to their pins before they get powered up. If you really want to
land this, the patch needs very very broad testing, as well as a plan to
address the power up issue.
