I meant that hda_widget_sysfs_reinit() creates sysfs files if they
weren't present. hda_widget_sysfs_reinit() should do nothing if the
sysfs wasn't created beforehand -- like my suggested patch does.

After that change, "bool sysfs" argument can be de even dropped from
snd_hdac_refresh_widgets(). The very first call of this function is
with sysfs=false, but at this point, codec->widgets=NULL, so reinit()
would just skip. All later calls are with sysfs=true.

OK, this information helps a lot for understanding the problem.
The parallel initialization hasn't been considered much, so far.
Let me check that in detail later. I'll postspone your v2 patch for a
while.
