Hm, that's bad.

It's a design flaw :)

One option is to create a new hook in struct soc_mixer_control or
whatever, e.g.
	int (*connect_update)(struct soc_mixer_control *mc);
that returns the connect value.

Then give the own callback when you set the customized get/put
things that are incompatible with the default one.

Looks good to me.
