I think we can't simply revert that commit now, after commit

9178feb ASoC: add Component level suspend/resume
component_dev_list is also used for the component level suspend/resume,

missed in the suspend/resume sequences.

I run into same issue and posted a patch:

"ASoC: Fix binding and probing of auxiliary components".
