AC97 problems with pxa...

[jakob.viketoft@bitsim.com (Jakob Viketoft)]

Do you mean mixing the AC97 non-asoc and asoc drivers or the drivers for 
the WM9712? I can't see the possibility of mixing anything for the 
WM9712, but I'm unsure of the distinction between the different AC97 pieces.

The only source code difference I can see is that the palmtx is adding a 
platform_driver in sound/soc/pxa/palm27x.c and a platform_device in 
arch/arm/mach-pxa/palmtx.c. But I haven't seen this in any of the 
"reference" drivers I looked at (mentioned in documentation), like 
spitz.c and corgi.c (which doesn't use ac97) but neither in tosa.c.

Should this make a difference? My module init function gets called, it's 
just the snd_soc_dai_link[0].init function that doesn't.

Regards,
