Yeps that and a few more things, I have a scratch rewrite here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-stericsson.git/log/?h=ux500-audio-rewrite
I remember Lee said he had audio working with the mainline kernel
on Snowball at one point, unfortunately I think that was before we
started with the DT conversions and then we probably broke it.
