Re: Cirrus Logic CS42L52 Low power codec

I was under the impression that the ASoc v1 ties the codec to a specific
machine, and that v2 eliminates that need.  Is that a correct
assumption?

Assuming that this is an ASoC codec driver please go ahead and submit
the codec by itself - there's no requirement for an in-tree machine
driver.  For ASoC v1 a patch against any of current alsa-driver hg,
Linus' current kernel or the dev branch of the ASoC repository at
git://opensource.wolfsonmicro.com/linux-2.6-asoc should be fine -
whichever you find most convenient.
