The other thing I'm wondering here is about compatibility - is this
something we can enumerate at runtime and if so couldn't this be done
more like how we handle the various I2C and SMBus variants so the driver
just says it wants a SoundWire regmap and then based on the capabilities
of the device and the controller the regmap decides if it can use MBQ or
not on the current system?
