Yes, the initial submission was reviewed and acked by folks on
alsa-devel.

And now that I think of it, this code should never execute on non-overo
boards since they will have their own machine ASoC driver!  So this
patch isn't really necessary.

This was discussed, but since the overo has some additional
functionality that will be added to the machine portion of the driver it
was decided to have separate machine files for overo and beagle.  I'm
waiting for an overo "buddy" board that brings out the additional
microphone inputs before I can add and test this functionality.

Putting the board specific bits in the arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-XYZ.c
file has been discussed a number of times on alsa-devel and the folks
there insist that for now (i.e. ASoC V1) this is the proper way to do
things.
