Yes, I was. In my opinion this set_dai_fmt() implementation is useful to
have as a mechanism to detect invalid configurations. E.g. if you don't
implement the callback the CODEC will accept any setting while with he
callback it will error out with the wrong configuration. Given that a I2S
link typically at least somewhat works, even if you have the wrong setting,
I think it makes sense to keep it to catch errors early on.
