[PATCH] ASoC: Taint the kernel if debugfs is used to write directly to CODECs

[Mark Brown <broonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com>]

Since direct register writes may confuse the drivers and are supposed
to be used only in diagnostic situations discourage their use in
production by tainting the kernel when we do a write.
