These first would map fine to standard ABI for gain control I think.
I'd prefer to see that used if possible than invention of new ABI for that.

Problem with this an next one as I mention in binding is we have no idea what
is between those two external pins so no way to present a generic userspace interface.

Any idea if there is anything that is standard to wire in there?  I could see for instance
nesting a similar amplifier to this one with different gain.  Maybe we should have
a go at describing that.  This device would be a consumer of channels provided by
another etc.
