I think it should.  For one thing, ASoC requires a pointer to a structure in the 
codec device driver so that it knows which functions to call to change volume. 
What if you have multiple i2s/ac97 devices and multiple codecs?  You'll need to 
know which i2s device is connected to which codec.  The only way to distinguish 
that is by having a node for the codec under the i2s node.
