The audio codec ought to answer even when the reference clock isn't
active.  I actually can't recall, but I think the digital side still
works.  The audio codec needs to be turned on because otherwise it will
pull the SCL and SCK lines low, blocking I2C3 from working at all.

Actually, now that I'm looking at it, we just had to make an ECO to get
rid of SPK_AMP_ON.  It is now ganged to AUDIO_PWRON, because SPK_AMP_ON
was accidentally dual-purposed as a GPIO for the front button on the
desktop / laptop.  This change was made very recently (last Friday I
think), and we'll be switching resistors on the mainboard when they're
built in order to make the change.  That pin should still be muxed as a
GPIO, it's just an input now rather than an output.
