THere is no "stable api" in the kernel, so if something has to change,
that's fine, we can change the users at the same time, not an issue.
What I meant is that this requires consensus to make a change, and so
far I haven't seen any burning desire from the contributors to revisit
the 2-step sequence.
I will however modify the code in this patch to implement a SoundWire
'linkdev' register/unregister function, it'll be much easier to review
and maintain, and will follow the same pattern as the mlx5 code (all
errors and domain-specific initializations handled in the same
function). Draft code being tested is at
