Well, you need to add new control types anyway so they know not to do
the writes so making them DTRT is fairly trivial.

The issue with the old PGA code is that it's fundamentally mono but a
substantial proportion of the output paths really are stereo and want to
export stereo control to userspace but DAPM is pretty much mono all the
way.  Decoupling the mute from the PGA solves that, and lets us use this
with other widget types if that's useful (though virtual PGAs could
cover that too).
