I think this is a silly idea - why should every driver have additional code
to detect when it's called to do thing. Why doesn't the simple card code
always pass the required format?

Looking at other drivers, no one else does this; they all appear to require
the proper format to be specified.

What some drivers do (eg, omap-mcbsp.c) is to block set_fmt when the
DAI is already in use - setting a flag "configured" in hw_params, and
clearing it in shutdown. Maybe following this will solve your problem.

In any case, random drivers doing stuff differently without reason is
really not a good idea.
