Looks mostly good.  A few comments, though:

This should also be added to SND_SOC_ALL_CODECS to ensure testing
coverage.

Perhaps I'm missing something but I can't seem to see where
twl4030_i2c_read_u8() is defined or any of the I2C device hookup for the
codec is done?

If this is empty it should be removable?

This printk() should be removed - it's just debug output.

Should you be calling power_up() and power_down() for standby and off
here?

The comments about powering up and down the codec could probably use a
little clarification given the fact that there are also power_down() and
power_up() functions.

It may be better to make these user visible controls - usually the mute
provided here is specifically for the DAC but these look like controls
for the PGA.  The intention here is to avoid artifacts from the DAC when
the input clock stops and start - if there aren't any then user space
may well appreciate the control.  Either way is fine.

Merging the power down into set_bias_level() would mean that this would
do a controlled power down - at present it will be a no-op.

Similarly, adding the power up to the standby configuration would ensure
a controlled power up of the codec when resuming.  Looking at the power
up sequence I'm not sure that simply writing back the cache will work
well?

It looks like the driver is assuming a particular clock rate going into
the codec - does the chip require a fixed clock or is the driver only
supporting one configuration?  Either is fine.
