You definitely shouldn't be implementing things that should be in DAPM
as non-DAPM controls.

If it is useful it definitely needs a comment explaining what's
happening and that there's no practical change to the configuration.  It
would be nicer to be robust against the device getting a wider range of
values in the register but that seems plausible.
