What does that control do? This seems to be a bit of a layering violation to 
create a control in the PCM driver based on the configuration of the DAI link.

This seems to be to early, the DAI's should at least have been probed. I 
think we should put it in soc_probe_link_dais() after the the dai_link->init 
section.
