Sorry, didn't see a device in "struct snd_soc_codec *codec" so I went
for a printk (although it was pr_info instead of pr_err).

I did think if this should be something in the snd_soc_update_bits
and snd_soc_write() calls after sending the patch.

If you think that changing the two snd_soc calls to print errors
when anything bad happens then that would also be a good idea then
I can send a patch for that.
