It would be nice, but it also requires some slight restructuring. The issue 
we have right now is that there is  strictly speaking a bit of a layering 
violation. The DAPM widgets should not need to know how the kcontrols that 
are attached to the widget do their IO. What we essentially do in 
dapm_connect_mux() (and also dapm_connect_mixer) is an open-coded version of 
the controls get handler. Replacing that by calling the get handler instead 
should allow us to use different structs for enums and onehot enums.
