So, this is true.  On the other hand like Russell says further down the
thread it's preserving the existing behaviour so it would be surprising
if it actually broke anything and it will help systems that explicitly
set the ratio so I don't think we should let perfect be the enemy of
good here.

As Russell outlined there's quite a bit of hopeful assumption in how
ASoC handles the mapping of memory formats onto wire formats which works
almost all the time but not always and definitely not through robust
design, that should be a lot easier to address once the component
conversion has been done as we'll actually have all the links in the
system directly visible rather than bundled up together and implied as
they are currently.  Sadly that's a lot of work with not many people
working on it so progress is super slow.
