Because sun4i_codec_controls has five controls shared between A10 and A20,
and only two not shared.

And if we extended sun4i_codec_controls, we'd also have to duplicate
sun4i_codec_codec in order to use sun4i_codec_controls vs. sun7i_codec_controls,
which really contains exactly the same data otherwise.

The quirks here are just for two controls, Mic1 Boost Volume and Mic2 Boost Volume,
and there not even for the names or anything - just for some reason the register
moved away.

The simplest way was to add it to the quirks - which already have a variant
selection etc.
