This is ugly. =A0I'd really rather have a generic mechanism for creating

init looks wrong.

I'm all for deleting it as soon as AC97 is capable of auto-loading.  I
thought it was better to leave it in the sound directories to keep it
isolated since the intention is to remove it when possible.

BTW, my binding files are quite simple compared to mpc8610_hpcd.c.

I was trying to do a sort of generic matching mechanism with the of
simple stuff; but admittedly it was hacky and half-assed. =A0However, I
do still think it is viable to have OF hooks that kick in when codec
and machine drivers are registered. =A0If linkage data is encoded in the
device tree, then generic code should be able to hook them up; pulling
additional data out of the device tree as needed to configure the
coded.
