I see your point. I think for the moment I will remove this patch
until I will come with a better solution.

One important thing is: where do we advertise the supported parameters:

1) topology.
2) codec component instance (codec adapter) inside FW.
3) Linux kernel side based on some info about the current running platform.

Unfortunately, most of the existing users of this interface really do 
hardcode supported params:

e.g

intel/atom/sst/sst_drv_interface.c
qcom/qdsp6/q6asm-dai.c
uniphier/aio-compress.c

But that's because I think they only support one single platform family 
which has same capabilities.
