I think this would make sense as a generic helper in sdca_asoc.c
probably taking the function and the DAI as arguments.

I think this is fine, as you say bps makes no sense for a PDM
stream but I might need to spend a little more time working out
how this all propagates through the core. I guess my concern is
if other drivers don't handle PDM in the same way.
