Add support for the core to limit the maximum volume on an existing control. The function will modify the soc_mixer_control.max value of the given control. The new value must be lower than the original one (chip maximum)
If there is a need for limiting a gain on a given control, than machine drivers can do the following in their snd_soc_dai_link.init function:
snd_soc_limit_volume(codec, "TPA6140A2 Headphone Playback Volume", 21);
This will modify the original 31 (chip maximum) to 21, so user space will not be able to set the gain higher than this.

Hello Mark, Liam,
So this is my proposed way of doing the volume limiting within the core. By looking around the code, this should be safe. With this simple function all machine driver can limit gains on a given control in a way, that the codec/amp driver does not need to be involved.
What do you think?
