Hello Márton,

Splitting the pac7311 subdriver is a good idea, but I don't like your
patchset: a lot of changes (function prefixes) are nullified by the
last patch. I'd better like only one change for the pac7302 creation
and a second one for the interface change of pac_find_sof() in
pac_common.h (BTW, this file could now be compiled separately).

Regards.
