Maybe, by coincidence, the wrong defines contained enough bits
set to actually select some common, working format with their
controllers?

I've received an e-mail from "kbuild test robot" at
"0-DAY kernel test infrastructure" that automated testing there
using sparse found this issue on wm9713 and stac9766 CODECs.

The exact warning was:
>> sound/soc/codecs/stac9766.c:324:28: sparse: incorrect type in initializer (different base types)
sound/soc/codecs/stac9766.c:324:28: expected unsigned long long [unsigned] [usertype] formats
sound/soc/codecs/stac9766.c:324:28: got restricted snd_pcm_format_t [usertype] <noident>

What is important the warning doesn't show unless a check build
is made with CF=-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ .

Upon checking I've found the same issue also in two other CODECs,
which aren't normally being built on x86_64 (target architecture
for above automated build) even when SND_SOC_ALL_CODECS is selected.

Best regards,
