Can you not dynamically assign an id? If alsa soc needs a unique id number, then just create a lookup function. Something like of_asoc_phandle_to_codec_id() that will either return a previously assigned id, or will assign a new id. You shouldn't ever need to add data to the tree at runtime.

Numerical magic IDs are evil... why not a name ? Or it's existing alsa breakage ? :-)
