    Oh, there's definitely going to be a platform-specific hook to configure
    things. The platform needs to specify how the devices that make up the
    audio subsystem are interconnected on the board, and that's done in
    kernel since it depends on the hardware and can potentially lead to
    physical damage if done incorrectly.

    Agreed.
