Well, the FIFO mode can not be changed runtime (while the playback is running) 
for various reasons.
The control is protected against changes while the playback is running.
Since at the moment the driver only supports master mode FIFO scenarios (expect 
for the FIFO bypass mode, which should work in slave mode as well) I think this 
check is sufficient to ensure that the codec/cpu dai is configured correctly.
As far as I know the set_dai_fmt is the place where the machine driver 
configures the codec to master/slave, so this must be the correct place for a 
safety check.
