Do not use the device tree to load the fabric driver!
The layout of the hardware and the relationship between the I2S, I2C, codec,
and whatever device is determined by *both* the fabric driver and the device
tree. The information about the devices itself, and *some* information about
their relationship is stored in the device tree. Everything else is in the
fabric driver.
The design of the device tree is already locked in stone, so to speak. The DT
can only store what it is allowed to store. If there's something more that
you need, you'll have to put it in the fabric driver.
If I weren't on vacation this week, I'd email you my code. It's almost done
and it demonstrates what I'm thinking.
