This is pretty much what ASoC always did, it's been working out
reasonably well.

We do still don't really handle what happens if someone tries to unbind
one of the supporting devices while things are in use sensibly.  Since
generally this would involve someone manually removing the driver for
pracical purposes we're OK now but it's an issue and we probably will
have to deal with systems that trigger this for sensible reasons at some
point.
