Iow you don't need McBSP DAI at all. If you would have added the dummy
codec to McBSP !3 and use that, it would work in a same way, or to DMIC
or McPDM...
The McBSP ops are NULL for the dummy dai, so McBSP is turned off.

Cool. Now I can dual boot the droid4 :D
I needed to rewrite the /etc/shadow to get a known root password so I
can log in.
Wifi is up, so in theory I can scp kernel/dtb to /boot/boot/ and update
the /boot/boot/boot.cfg to boot my kernel, right?
