If this is going to go in during the merge window I'm happy for it to go
in via the MIPS tree but otherwise I'd much rather it goes via ASoC in
case API changes cause merge issues.  I don't know what you prefer,
Ralf?

We could also split the MIPS and ASoC parts into separate patches if
that helps.

This is because they're internal to ASoC - having them out of include
should set off big red warning flags for something outside ASoC is
looking at them.  If there are things that should be referenced outside
ASoC they should be in a separate header in include/sound like the
WM9081 platform data.

This could be removed but it does no harm.

If you conver the I2S driver to use the standard device probing model
this could all me moved into the architecture code rather than placed in
machine drivers.
