You mean I just have to use snd_soc_register_dai()? Things like 
soc_init_card() and snd_soc_new_pcms() are not mandatory?
So, i think code like this one could be ok :

#define Q2686_RATES (SNDRV_PCM_RATE_8000_192000)

#define Q2686_FORMATS (SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S16_LE | SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S20_3LE |\
    SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S24_LE)

static struct snd_soc_dai_ops q2686_dai_ops = {
};

struct snd_soc_dai q2686_dai = {
    .name = "Q2686",
    .playback = {
        .stream_name = "Playback",
        .channels_min = 2,
        .channels_max = 2,
        .rates = Q2686_RATES,
        .formats = Q2686_FORMATS,
    },
    .capture = {
        .stream_name = "Capture",
        .channels_min = 2,
        .channels_max = 2,
        .rates = Q2686_RATES,
        .formats = Q2686_FORMATS,},
    .ops = &wm8728_dai_ops,
};
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(q2686_dai);

static int __init q2686_modinit(void)
{
    return snd_soc_register_dai(&q2686_dai);
}
module_init(q2686_modinit);

static void __exit q2686_exit(void)
{
    snd_soc_unregister_dai(&q2686_dai);
}
module_exit(q2686_exit);
