Yes Intel is planning to rewrite the sound card driver for ASoC.
I will take us little time for that :-)
Meanwhile IMO it would be great to have this driver in staging or in sound
whichever you guys agree to

As the userspace api is going to change, and Intel is committed to redo
the api to use ASoC, I suggest it goes into the staging tree. That will
force Intel to live up to that promise, otherwise the code will be
dropped from the tree.
