OK, that's interesting...  presumably there's some other framework
changes need upstreaming here, I've really not been paying attention to
any out of tree code here.

Including the CPU<->CODEC paths?  Huh, so it seems.  That wasn't
required in any of the previous out of tree DPCM systems I've worked on
in the past.  Something's changed somewhere along the line here...

If those are required they really should be created by the framework in
the same way as we do for CODEC<->CODEC links, it's not at all sensible
to have to supply them twice and like I say it's just asking for problems.

OK, that's not good.

Needs a closer look I think.

That's easy enough to sidestep for now.
