Without the empty function, we run into problems with drivers that
abort when they get -ENOTSUPP here:

sound/soc/atmel/atmel_wm8904.c: ret =
snd_soc_dai_set_sysclk(codec_dai, WM8904_CLK_FLL,
sound/soc/atmel/atmel_wm8904.c-                 0, SND_SOC_CLOCK_IN);
sound/soc/atmel/atmel_wm8904.c- if (ret < 0) {
sound/soc/atmel/atmel_wm8904.c-         pr_err("%s -failed to set
wm8904 SYSCLK\n", __func__);
sound/soc/atmel/atmel_wm8904.c-         return ret;
sound/soc/atmel/atmel_wm8904.c- }

Is there a stub version that I can use instead?  Nothing jumped out at
me when looking at the other codec drivers.

It might be useful if another tas571x variant put the bit somewhere
else, but that hasn't happened yet so I can nuke the helper function
for now.

Hmm, not sure if this actually resets the registers back to power-on
defaults, but I'll check.

The 10-bit master volume field on 5717/5719 works like:

0x3ff: MUTE (power-on default)
0x3fe: -103.750 dB
0x3fd: -103.625 dB
[lots more options, in 0.125 dB increments]
0x001: 23.875 dB
0x000: 24.000 dB

Since we only have a resolution of 0.01 dB, the driver forces the LSB
to 0 and uses 0.25 dB increments instead of 0.125 dB.  Mute is handled
through the dedicated per-channel soft mute register bits instead of
the 0x3ff volume setting.
