Another couple of points here:

1. I think we should only write the channel status if I2S mode is
selected - channel status won't be used on SPDIF mode as SPDIF
supplies its own channel status.

2. I think we should continue writing all the channel status in a
single I2C transaction, and not breaking it into several different
transactions to cater for the odd register order.  I don't have
any direct evidence that one way is better than the other in terms
of atomicity of the update, but I think having it as a single
transaction stands a better chance of the chip atomically updating
the channel status.
