Yes, we do/will have custom hardware to reconstruct the required signals 
from the I2S lines.

The hardware requires one I2S output line and one I2S input line + the 
clock line.

You say "Driver for I2S in Exynos 5 is already included in mainline 
kernel." ... do you mean that all I need is a device tree file to enable 
it ? If so, then can you please link me to an example device tree ... my 
assumption is that this I2S device will show up in alsa once the device 
tree is setup ?
