I don't know that you need to push the full DAPM table down there,
there's certainly way more compact ways of representing selections like
this.

I'm not really happy with this as a reason for pushing low quality stuff
in - either the code isn't going to be around long so we may as well
jump to what we meant to do or it's going to be there for long enough
that people will have to work with it (and perhaps pick it up as a
reference).

omap-abe-mcbsp--mcpdm-twl4030?  :P

To be honest if you're going to do this I don't understand why you'd
bother defining this type which you'll just have to translate into a
dapm_route.
