So, the theory here is that when you've got both I2C and SPI on a single
CODEC all the basic setup code tends to be identical over all buses (as
it is with the current register() functions.  Personally I do find this
a bit strange since it feels better to have the driver check for all the
things it needs before it has the subsystem go and try to do broader
setup work but it does do the code sharing job.
