Hmm, I would have expected that the WM8804's reset line is wired to a GPIO and controlled by the driver to avoid such issues - but that doesn't seem to be the case (the hifiberry digi and digi pro overlays don't contain wlf,reset-gpio DT properties).
It's best you contact the manufacturer of your sound card, he should know how to deal with the issue.
so long,
