Indeed, but then, I don't think I ever supported loading and unload this driver
as a module.  The Kconfig does say it's a tristate, though.  I'll take a look at
it.

Most of my real development is going to the ASoC V2 version of this driver, and
that version should be a lot better.  I'll take another look at both driver to
make sure I didn't screw this up.

It can't be removed until this patch goes upstream, but thanks for the reminder.

That's correct.  I though I made that clear in the changelog.

I doubt it.  ASoC V1 doesn't generally support PowerPC, although there is code
to make it work.  That's why there's not a lot of support across the board for
PowerPC-isms.
