Well, it looks like this is *already* handled automatically by the
ab8500 codec driver in ab8500_codec_set_dai_clock_gate(), and these
controls just allow some messy degree of overriding after the audio
stream is started.  At this point the only thing that comes to my mind
is that this is some debug leftover and I'm replying with a v2 to just
drop these three widgets altogether.

In the meantime, I'm also observing some funny behavior of other
alsamixer controls, but I'll fix those on a separate series.  This is
enough to bring the driver back on a working state.

Thanks,
Fabio
