I believe ASoC creates sysfs entries if you use reg_cache and reg_cache_size, so
you should not be creating your own sysfs entries if you use these variables.

I haven't paid any attention to the of_soc helper, because it's for ASoC V1
only.  However, I don't understand why you need to reference it in the codec
driver.  My CS4270 codec driver knows nothing about OF and works fine in
arch/powerpc.
