That's true but what can I do with that in the ASoC machine driver? The
chip driver is _not_ the codec driver.
I can craft the pdata for the MFD child devices out from the DT
information but then the child devices will have no dev.of_node since
they were not probed via OF.
So I would have not phandle for the codec to be used to define the
dai-link connection within the sound dts section.

Am I missing something here?
