The way dts is set up in my case, I ended up with two
snd_soc_cards. It seems to work for me now (on old kernel and with
some rather extreme hacks).

I'll most likely clean it up and get into mainline-ready form, but it
will take some time. If you want to see the ugly patches, let me know.

Thanks and best regards,
