Ah apologies that wasn't what I meant if the register already
exists then don't change the name. I was referring to
wm8580_dac4_snd_controls I would probably name that
wm8581_dac4_snd_controls.

Yeah someone should probably look at fixing that at some point,
I will try to find some time to have a gander.

If you look in arizona_startup in sound/soc/codecs/arizona.c we
specify constraints for the sample rates based off our clocking,
there is an equivalent SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_CHANNELS that you
should be able to you to specify the supported channels with.
