Ok, so it seems to be feature set. This definitely should be
userspace-toggleable. We can always reset the device and reload firmware
at runtime, so I see no point in having to educate the kernel about this.

I'd say A2DP SRC is probably preferred to be the deafult, as we have
people running bare upstream on laptops and other consumer devices.
