If the user wants a given CODEC driver then they should enable that

Above card driver is intended to be used on multiple platforms. DT has
already a way for user to describe the CODEC connection required for
specific platform. So idea is enable these CODECs from driver point of view
for this card driver and platform DT can use what is required. Also the
CODEC driver will be a loadable module here.
No, you're missing the point of a generic driver here. This will mean
that if someone wants to build the driver into the kernel for their
embedded board they will be forced to build in every CODEC driver
someone has decided might be used with this generic driver, and even if
they're building things modular someone trying to cut down the size of
their kernel images is going to at least have to spend time building
CODEC drivers they don't want to use. Distributions should just select
all the CODEC drivers that are available in Kconfig, people configuring
for a particular target audience should be able to build only the
drivers they know they need.
OK, will drop this in v2. Thank you for details.
If above does not seem fine, alternatively can I just enable CODEC config
independently from defconfig?
Yes.
