The PowerPC side isn't without fault too. PowerPC still doesn't have a good way to load the fabric/machine driver.
I'm finding it difficult to square these two statements - from an ASoC point of view the main thing this patch is doing is adding a machine driver and that's not something that's going to go away.
Jon's concern is that there is no straightforward way to build a kernel with multiple fabric drivers and have the right one chosen via the device tree. This is just a limitation of the device tree model, and no one has come up with a good solution yet.
The problem still exists in ASoC V2. However, it's not anything that ASoC itself needs to be concerned with. It's purely a PowerPC problem.
It's purely an *OF Device Tree* problem. PowerPC isn't the only platform using the device tree. :-)
