I would like to submit a patch that adds some new macros for TLV in ASoC. this patch requires changes in 2 codecs (CS42L51,CS42L73).

Should I submit just the asoc-core patch then follow up with the codec patches or just submit as a series?

If the core patch doesn't break the build of the CODECs (eg, it introduces a new API) either way is fine, it doesn't matter much so long as it's clear that the core patch needs to be applied first. If the core patch does break the build (eg, it changes an existing API) then all the changes need to be part of a single patch.
