The CODEC Bharath and I are working with has hardware providing 
information back to CPU so post processing modules running on CPU can 
fine tune things on the CODEC continuously.

So, the information need to exposed to CPU is more than supported rates, 
format, and channels but very CODEC specific.

I doubt that ASoC has mechanism for vendor's own CODEC driver to 
advertise CODEC specific information. However, we would like to check 
ahead of time before coming up with something on our own.

Thanks
Patrick
