Ok, I understand that. > Instead we should be probing at runtime (as the non-ASoC AC'97 code does) or > something similar. When you say "non-ASoC AC'97 code", which file are you referring to ? Is it sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c ? If so is there already a table of tuples (AC97_VENDOR_ID1, AC97_VENDOR_ID2) -> (platform device, platform device data) and a matching mechanism already available to the ASoC drivers ?
