Alternatively, I feel instead of error-out at here, should we add a HW
constraint or at least fence it off at the beginning of the hw_params()? This
is actually nothing specific to the pair-request function but a hardware
constraint.

How about add constraint in startup?
static int fsl_asrc_dai_startup(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream,
                               struct snd_soc_dai *dai)
{
       struct fsl_asrc *asrc_priv = snd_soc_dai_get_drvdata(dai);

       if (asrc_priv->channel_bits == 3) {
               snd_pcm_hw_constraint_step(substream->runtime, 0,
                                          SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_CHANNELS, 2);
       }

       return 0;
}

Yea, that looks good to me. Better to have a line of comments
to tell that "bits==3" means older version -- maybe we should
have something much more clear than using channel_bits but it
is fine for now since they only differ here.
