I ended up using your suggestion with regmap_register_patch in v6. I
experimented a bit with handling all the interface configurations and it
ultimately became too complex since we would need to handle cases where
there could be one synchronous interface or two asynchronous interfaces that
only have capture or playback. Typically we have only seen uses where
there is one synchronous interface where adc and dac run at the same
rate and on other parts we have sample rate converters that allow capture
and playback to run at different rates. The default value here was
infact not very sane since it is the least used, so the patch method was
very useful in this case. Thanks for the input.
