Hi Mark,
current 2.6.32-git spits out the following oops when I load my machine driver with the generic AC97 codec:

Oops is inside snd_ac97_dev_add_pdata() call: seems ac97->dev is NULL.
I'm not entirely sure that this isn't somehow the fault of my machine driver; has the procedure to register the asoc device changed since 2.6.32?
Thanks! Manuel Lauss
