This looks similar to what I discussed with Peter the other day. You do not 
really need to call dapm_kcontrol_set_value() for controls that are not a 
virtual control or a auto-muted control. Neither is probably the case here. 
The conclusion of our discussion also was to move the 
dapm_kcontrol_set_value() call into snd_soc_dapm_mixer_update_power(), in 
case it ever becomes mandatory for other types of controls as well, because 
this means that not every custom put callback has to call the function on 
it's own.

Btw. in this case I think you should just use the default DAPM kcontrol put 
callback. There doesn't seem to be anything special in here and with the 
DAPM componentization series the default handler is also able to handle 
platforms.
