Maybe I'm misunderstanding what this control does. But if it is about
putting the CODEC in master or slave mode, so whether it should generate the
frame- and bitclocks or if the other end of the DAI link should do it, then
this should be configured using set_dai_fmt. Making this runtime selectable
from userspace doesn't make much sense since both sides of the DAI link have
to agree on who is master and who is slave. If you just change one side the
link will just stop working.

Annotate the remove function with __devexit. Like this:
+static int __devexit sta529_i2c_remove(struct i2c_client *client)
