Device datasheet doesn't list any pin which looks like "power-gpio"
http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tlv320dac32.pdf
Unfortunately I do not know much about N9, but was able to find Nokia 5610
scheme to get clue how could be tlv320dac33 hardwired (see page 2):
http://mastermobile.spb.ru/service/nokia_5610_rm-242_service_schematics.pdf
Here AVDD is powered by LP3985 voltage regulator which is enabled using
VEN pin which might be connected to gpio. Or there could be completely
different voltage regulator with different controls. And since Linux
already has voltage regulator class, lets not limit ourselves to gpio
pins.

See also here about deprecated power-gpios:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/cavium-mmc.txt
so it seems others already fallen into that trap.
