This is more question of preference, so you can leave above function as 
is, but you could also do something like the following, which is bit 
shorter:
static unsigned int wmfw_convert_flags(unsigned int in)
{
	unsigned int out = SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ACCESS_READ;

	if (!in)
		return SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ACCESS_READWRITE | SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ACCESS_VOLATILE;

	if (in & WMFW_CTL_FLAG_WRITEABLE)
		out |= SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ACCESS_WRITE;
	if (in & WMFW_CTL_FLAG_VOLATILE)
		out |= SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ACCESS_VOLATILE;

	return out;
}

Wouldn't
kctl = snd_ctl_new1(kcontrol, ctl);
work instead of
kcontrol->private_value = (unsigned long)ctl;
...
kctl = snd_ctl_new1(kcontrol, NULL);
?

You can then get the value using  snd_kcontrol_chip()  macro, so instead 
of doing quite long lines with casts like:
struct hda_cs_dsp_coeff_ctl *ctl = (struct hda_cs_dsp_coeff_ctl 
*)kctl->private_value;
you could do
struct hda_cs_dsp_coeff_ctl *ctl = snd_kcontrol_chip(kctl);
