Controls are exposed to user-space, and it helps if it's easy to
identify which device is which.

But below you are using the I2C address, is this 'stable' enough so that
userspace can still identify the controls and set them accordingly with
amixer or UCM?

generic comment for this patch: you may want to follow the same
convention for error log, sometimes it's %s, or %s: or no %s

I already had a question early on whether these addresses are 'stable',
but here the device address is used to fetch firmware, and there is no
prefix or directory to identify platform-specific settings.

I don't know how this might work for a distribution. There needs to be a
way to detect what system this is at run-time, and make sure we don't
use settings for platform XYZ on platform ABC.

check clock values?
