No, you're missing the point of what _ALL_CODECS does - it builds
everything possible. This will break the build for systems without
AC'97 support.

How?
In the second hunk of the patch I've made SND_SOC_AC97_CODEC select
SND_SOC_AC97_BUS.

select doesn't respect dependencies, it'll just force on the selected
symbol.

The patch works fine, neither SND_SOC_AC97_BUS nor the symbols selected by SND_SOC_AC97_BUS have any dependencies.

Although one might argue that only AC97 host driver should select SND_SOC_AC97_BUS and the CODEC drivers should depend on it.
