[alsa-devel] It looks like snd-soc-rx51 only works as built-in, not as a module

Can you provide logs showing this (with debug logging enabled in
soc-core)?  If this is happening it's a very serious issue, though I am
rather surprised that nobody else has noticed such an issue since the
usual instantiation order would have the card appear before the CODEC
(due to the fact that the card is normally a platform device) and the
structure of the code makes it difficult to imagine a failure path.

Not if we look at and resolve the actual issue.  Once again, any
instantation ordering should be supported.  I really don't understand
why you keep on talking about fixing the module ordering,
