Yeah I considered this but it didn't really feel like the right
way to go to me. Firstly, at this stage we almost certainly need
to keep the endianness and non_legacy_dai_naming flags, there are
corner cases when endianness probably shouldn't be applied to CODECs
(as noted in my endianness series), and there are platform drivers
that use non_legacy_dai_naming.

We could add an is_codec flag along side the other two. But it
means a whole extra flag and means the the core is still requiring
a concept of what is a CODEC driver, which really we want to get
rid of as part of componentisation.

My thinking was that, whilst making this function local to the
driver isn't perfect, simple card will be used with simple CODECs
that are likely to exist on a standard audio bus, and thus have
endianness and the newer graph cards don't require specific
identification of what is a CODEC driver. So it probably works as
a solution for now.

Absolutely no problem, thank you for all the work you have done
on this over the years.

Thanks,
