Oops missed that part.

So am making it

if (type == SND_CTL_ELEM_TYPE_BYTES &&
	(snd_ctl_elem_info_is_tlv_readable(info) ||
	snd_ctl_elem_info_is_tlv_writable(info))) {

But this control can be read only or write only. Like a module doesnt allow
read, or some is read only so OR should be good here

Also should it check it is not normal read/write ?

Thanks
