That should be fine also, it's just usually a bit more work to add all
the routes for DAPM.

Well, currently the code to load the driver is also not upstream so may
as well have the driver be what's wanted!  But it's not a massive deal,
main thing would be to get everything done as part of initial
upstreaming instead of having to come back and work on it again later.
