OK, so that's not actually what the code was doing - it had separate
enums for bass, mid and treble. If you make this a single enum with all
the above options in it that seems like the best way of handling things.

No, this is really common, we combine them in Linux to present a
consistent interface to userspace.

This stuff all adds up and since it'll go out on the console by default
it both makes things more noisy and slows down boot - printing on the
serial port isn't free. If we want to have this sort of information we
printed we should really do it in the driver core so it appears
consistently for all devices rather than having individual code in each
driver.
