This all sounds from a system integration point of view like a fairly
standard audio DSP.  Usually something like that would be structured
with the generic bits of DSP support done as a library which the drivers
for specific bits of hardware link to, the SOF code is the most obvious
example of this we have upstream but there's a few other simpler ones
like the Cirrus CODECs.  If there's a reason why this wouldn't work here
it's not clear to me from what you've posted thus far.
