The startup function is the right place. But instead of modifying the DAI 
use snd_pcm_hw_constraint_mask64(), snd_pcm_hw_constraint_list(), etc. to 
setup the additional constraints that come from the EDID.

Bonus points for making this a generic helper function that takes a runtime 
and a EDID and then applies the EDID constraints on the runtime.
