OK, might be worth nagging the architecture maintainer to get their tree
included in -next if it isn't already.

Yes, please - this applies to almost all CPU side drivers, it's kind of
unfortunate but in practice it generally makes very little practical
difference since applications tend to use one of the standard audio
rates.

Which functions are you exporting?  None of this looked like anything
that I'd expect to see used outside of the driver.
