No, there is no direct connection between any of the platform drivers and the codec drivers - the platform drivers will be configured to produce and understand signals on I2S as configured by a combination of the machine drivers and core. The codec will be configured compatibly but at no point should the codec and platform drivers directly know anything about each other.
codec together? So, back to my current source of confusion, do I need to implement some basic kind of pcm driver for my scenario?
There should be at least a stub platform driver. The driver is responsible for things that apply over the entire platform - for most platforms this is DMA since the DMA control is the same for all the different audio interfaces the platform has.
This is nothing to do with creating a card, that is initiated by the machine driver.
