Because this driver sets up fm34 and switches it to bypass mode allowing
sound to work on the device. There is no dsp framework in kernel which could
be called to operate dsp from the actual sound codec. (If there is, I
would be glad
if you show me). Fm34 must be active only on DMIC use, all other cases require
it to be in bypass.

I understand, but the header contains sets of configuration sequences.
Including those into .c will make it barely readable.
