This does look bit ugly.

Yes we wanted to decouple the sdw and audio bits that is the reason why
none of the audio types are used here, but I think it should be revisited
and perhaps made as:

sdw_config_stream(struct device *sdw, struct sdw_callback_ctx *ctx)

where the callback context contains all the other args. That would make
it look lot neater too and of course use real structs if possible
