I'd just like to emphasise this point - ASoC v1 really doesn't
understand the idea that the components of the sound subsystem might be
probed separately. It's set up to handle bare hardware with everything
being probed from code in the machine/fabric driver. This makes life
very messy for platforms with something like the device tree.
As has been said, handling this properly is one of the major motivations
behind ASoC v2.

This is certainly the approach we want to take from an ASoC point of
view.
