If it's internal to the driver sure.

It would probably be better to just leave this out for now then add the
required bits to the CODEC driver as part of a patch series that also
adds the machine driver that uses it so it's clear how it all fits
together.  It sounds like it should be fine but this'd be easier to
review.
