Why not use the existing speaker widget?  It's at pretty much the same
point in the sequence and is intended for use with external GPIO
controlled speaker drivers.  It'd be good to discuss this in the
changelog.

The _DRV name seems rather opaque - I'd suggest _SPK as a name but
obviously that's in use.  If we do want this I guess _SPK_DRV or
sommething.
