However, in order for the machine driver to unmask/mask a machine specific 
control, the codec driver must drop the machine driver a message about the 
line discipline being activeted/deactivated, right? The only such existing 
feedback I can see the codec is able to use is via snd_soc_init_card() that 
calls snd_soc_dai_link.init() in turn. Am I missing something?
