Mike interprets verse 32 as a parenthetical about prophets' ability to control themselves.

The phrase 'the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets' (verse 32) means prophets can control their own actions -- they do not have to speak compulsively when they feel a prophetic impulse. Paul told the tongues speakers the same thing. This addresses the charismatic tendency to value spontaneity over order.
