So you're saying that you've got a mux on a single physical input which
has two inputs?  Are you sure that this is actually a mux and not some
sort of mode setting that should be in platform data or DT - what do
these settinngs actually correspond to?  The routes in the driver look
like there's two physical pins for each one of IN1L/R which the device
can switch between for some reason which does correspond to a mux but
that'd more normally be named IN1AL or similar.

Though if the left and right side need to be set to the same thing
(which IIRC a previous version had code to check for and you did mention
in your mail) all the time then why are there two separate muxes anyway?
