Instead we should be probing at runtime (as the non-ASoC AC'97 code does) or
something similar.

When you say "non-ASoC AC'97 code", which file are you referring to ? Is it
sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c ?

Yes.

If so is there already a table of tuples (AC97_VENDOR_ID1, AC97_VENDOR_ID2) ->
(platform device, platform device data) and a matching mechanism already
available to the ASoC drivers ?

ASoC doesn't really support the enumeration very well, you can use
ac97.c as the CODEC but that's about it.  There is a generic AC'97 PXA
driver in sound/arm, if your system can use that that'd be a better
route to DT integration for it I think.  Did you try that, if there are
problems with that perhaps we can improve that driver, it should  be
simpler.
