I think the patch is for those systems which enable I2S clocks in pcm_start instead
of pcm_prepare. It has no effect on systems already be able to turn on clocks in
supply widgets or set_bias_level() function.

If the trigger type in the DAI link is TRIGGER_PRE, then the trigger function of FE port
(component or CPU DAI) will be called before codec driver's trigger function. In this
case we will be able to turn on the clock in time. However, if the trigger type is
TRIGGER_POST, then the patch does not help because just like what you said, codec
driver's trigger function is called first.

In my experiment with the patch, the SRM is locked in the second read and cost
50ms to wait.
