What makes you say that the driver has no support for these things? The
driver provides automatic power management and application control for
audio routing and gains. This control should be fairly complete. For
example, the DAC power is controlled by line 221:
SND_SOC_DAPM_DAC("DAC", "HiFi Playback", WM8974_POWER3, 0, 0),
This will be enabled when a playback is active and the DAC is connected
to an output.

aplay only deals with streaming PCM data to the CODEC. You should use
an application such as alsamixer or amixer to configure the CODEC into
the desired state at runtime.
