Please explain this in more detail, shared register ranges are very common and are the sort of things MFDs are supposed to help with. > 2.

You need to support the clock API, it's very easy to do so so there is no excuse for doing something custom here. > 3. Our hardware does not support S16_LE If you have modified the designware IP to remove this support (why would anyone do that?) it's a trivial quirk, if the restriction comes from some other part of the system like the DMA driver then the constraint will come from that part of the system.
