The TAS5722 supports modifying volume in 0.25dB steps (as opposed to 0.5dB steps on the TAS5720). Introduce a custom mixer control that allows taking advantage of this finer output volume granularity.
Don't do this, it's just making things more complicated. Instead do what other drivers do and register different sets of controls depending on which part you're working with. The normal thing is to have a big table for all the shared controls that are the same on all variants then register additional tables during probe with those that vary for the individul devices.
That is what we are doing here, the reason for the custom mixer control is that the controlled bits span two registers in a odd way that is not supported by the standard handlers.
That's not clear from the commit message, it sounds like you're introducing an an extra control rather than replacing the one that's currently there.
As ever all volume controls should end in Volume (like the immediately adjacent control does).
This was done so this table exactly matches the existing table. If you would like me to change this then I can, and can do it for the other table as well, up to you.
Of course fixes for bugs in existing code are welcome.
