For things like the FIR you probably don't want to expose the entire
table directly to user space.  Depending on the typical usage it may be
that platform data is the appropriate mechanism, with some simpler thing
presented to applications allowing switching between a limited set of
settings.  sysfs may end up being the best option for the FIR setup.

My main concern here is that the control goes into the ALSA domain so
that the audio drivers know what's going on with these sidetone paths,
particular in terms of the routing.
