I was expecting that the core would just autogenerate some widgets for
the streams if it saw a CODEC appearing with no widgets in its context
after probe.  No code change to the CODEC drivers at all.

In principle a stream widget is fine, but you'd need ones for capture
and playback paths and they'd need to also function as pins so they can
be joined up with the outside world (which now we have multi-component
is a big reason to push back on things that don't do DAPM; it's not
purely about the annoyance of having to bodge around them).
