I have already separately said that you should write a CODEC driver for
this CODEC.  I'm saying that this seems like the sort of thing that
might fit in that CODEC driver.

That would be one example of how such a CODEC driver could be
configured, and is how other baseband/BT devices have ended up going
(see cx20442.c for example).
