I would maybe prefer if the "create" command were on a separate line.
Something like:

+        $ echo "mdev0:ep01:sound:most51_playback.6x16" >$(DRV_DIR)/add_link
+        $ echo "mdev0:ep02:sound:most_playback.2x16" >$(DRV_DIR)/add_link
+        $ echo "mdev0:ep83:sound:most_capture.2x16" >$(DRV_DIR)/add_link
+        $ echo "mdev0:ep83:sound:create" >$(DRV_DIR)/sound_card

It's sort of a separate command in a way?

I'm not sure...
