This if should be changed if we are no longer supporting the TLV
controls, you want to report an error if we exceed the max
control size not switch to the TLV access flags.

Don't need to set tlv.c or the private_value for bytes_ext if we
are not using TLVs.

Might be better to call this something slightly more generic than
amp_name. Just incase this stuff gets used with a CODEC or
something in the future.
