Yeah, this has been discussed several times, and we have not reached agreement 
where to move this very OMAP specific code.
One option was to move it under sound/soc/omap/ , since currently the only 
user for mcbsp is audio.
But McBSP is really versatile beast, it can be used for other things (for 
example it can handle SPI bus as well), so if we move it under ASoC, we are 
going to limit/block other use of these pins.
We can not just cp arc/arm/plat-omap/mcbsp.c drivers/wherever...
If we do that, we need to move it under some framework, or create a new one 
(bus driver?), which might be a bit tricky since we have special use of McBSP 
from audio side, this does not really fit the bus mode. Other uses of McBSP 
might be happy with the bus driver conversion, but we just do not have those.

IMHO the only place we can move this is under sound/soc/omap/ , but who can 
decide, that the McBSP can only be used for audio??
