Well, the problem is that most of ice17xx boards use only a part of
channels on codecs.   Thus you don't want to expose controls for all
channels, too.  Otherwise user will get confusing dead controls.

If these new modules are supposed to be used by other ice1712/ice1724
sub drivers, they should provide some good binding mechanism, too.
(And that's one of the good reasons why ASoC has been nominated.)
