I believe this isn't that easy. Here is why: iff you look at the ice1712/ice1724 driver, it doesn't detect dependencies when modprobed; that is, it loads, for example, ac97 codec and ak4xxx driver even if the card doesn't have any of that. Is it even possible to detect dependencies after modprobing?
The base intel hda module would include code to figure out which codec is attached. It can then use loadmodule() to dynamically load it. ASOC use the separate codec driver model.
You mean AOA? ASoC doesn't do any dynamic module handling by itself, AFAIK.
This lets you load another module from intel_hda:
request_module("%s", module_name);
As mentioned, it's no fundamental solution. The real problem is that the driver has too many stuff that can be trimmed down.
