i know you keep complaining, but i honestly dont understand why this
is undesirable.  connecting a codec to a Blackfin is pretty much
always the same.  you pick a SPORT # and that's about it.

the spi cs and i2c address could differ (so maybe make that a field
for the platform resources), but otherwise i dont see why people
should have to copy & paste the same code to change all of 4 bytes.
