ok.
I also thought about the location of the code, I am not sure this works 
if SND_SOC is not selected.

If SND_SOC is not selected, there is also no conflict with another 
driver so we may want to bypass this code. Or use it, flag that the 
config will prevent capture from working but continue the probe so that 
the playback works at least.
