Hello,

These 2 patches implement ASoC drivers for the AC97 and I2S
controllers found on early Alchemy chips.  They are largely
based on the old mips/au1x00.c driver which they replace.

In general, dropping an old driver happens a bit later after the new
driver comes in.  You can make the old one as deprecated at first.


thanks,

Takashi
