I'd go the other way and disable the DMIC support if the GPIOs aren't
configured appropriately in the platform data.  Since the DMIC is
selectable at runtime by random applications in most systems if it
forced the GPIOs into DMIC mode it could break functionality on systems
that don't actually have the DMIC wired up.  We've got code for this in
WM8962 for example.
