Between the calls to reset_control_assert and reset_control_deassert,
the block is held in reset. During this time, no register access will
succeed. All register access that may occur concurrently with the reset
needs to be locked

This controls the edge (rising/falling) of the frame clock that the
samples are generated on. Should I create a set_fmt function and use
SND_SOC_DAIFMT_NB_NF / SND_SOC_DAIFMT_NB_IF to set this instead? I
wasn't sure if those formats were just for I2S or not

The reset function restores the setting after the reset
