That is the current design: the chip drivers should all be completely
generic and work on any board using that chip.  For SoC side drivers
this includes things like the platform resources for the device (this is
why I was pushing back on the platform data in the machine driver).  The
board specific drivers should just configure the interconnections
between the codec and SoC drivers, including things like the clocking.
