Please CC me (and ideally all of patches@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
on any drivers for Wolfson devices. It's not like we're secretive!

No, this should be supported in ASoC - anything adding new code in
sound/i2c is *deeply* suspicious.

You should in general use regmap rather than open coding register I/O
for I2C devices.

I've not yet looked at the rest of the code but this looks awfully like
you've just invented a minimal version of the ASoC interfaces...
