I only have one comment on this patch.

in order to avoid chipset-specific logic here suggest that there should 
be an abstraction.

several ideas come to mind:
1) have a hal_ops callback to retrieve it
2) have a pointer to the compact ops in the hw_params

since we are already using hal_ops to get the masks, suggest that is 
where we should get the pointer to the compact ops
