As defined in the specification, the `controls` field in the configuration space is only valid/present if VIRTIO_SND_F_CTLS is negotiated. From https://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.3/virtio-v1.3.html: 5.14.4 Device Configuration Layout ... controls (driver-read-only) indicates a total number of all available control elements if VIRTIO_SND_F_CTLS has been negotiated. Let's use the same style used in virtio_blk.h to clarify this and to avoid confusion as happened in QEMU (see link).
