I tried "sgtl5000" and "fsl", both without success.

As I wrote before, my board is based on the very old imx35 processor
platform and I think this processor type does not support device tree
out of the box? Or is it possible to use a device tree with an imx35?
Haven`t seen this before. Is the problem realy the missing device tree
support? 

There are much reasons why I don`t want to spend that much time with
this old product. We had so much problems with this board and probably
in summer there is a new board coming. Maybe an im6q.
