Indeed I'll clean those up

I'll improve this

So the component framework is here to synchronize probes of the main codec
and soundwire devices, because the main codec needs the soundwire devices
to access registers.
I assume this design was chosen to limit probe defer infinite loops waiting
for the soundwire devices to probe

I'll propose a change on the component framework, without any insurance it
would be accepted.

I took this from wcd938x_sd, I'll check the rationale of it in the resume function.
