I added some text about that in the 3rd patch. Basically the codec driver
is ready (maybe a few quirks will be needed, though), but the soundcard
driver is not. It currently assumes CPU <-> Voice Codec, but
actually its a network of CPU, Voice Codec, Modem(s?) and Bluetooth.

I also think the macro block fw handling should not be handled in
the driver for the audio codec. IIRC it is also used to provide a
blink feature for the status LEDs. OTOH some of the registers of the
audio-codec are also used for 3.5mm detection. I also did not yet look
into the details of this one.
