That would be even simpler, of course!

...and hopefully userspace won't be trying to do any of the unsupported
things anyway at a higher level than ALSA so that's probably OK.  I
guess in principle the device can support full duplex even with FM, it's
just that the output is going to get discarded so it's not *useful* so
there's not such a need to make sure userspace is told about the
restriction anyway - the CPU driver can do the DMA which is all that's
directly visible to the application.
