This really depends on your platform atm. It's pretty much the same work
if your platform and codec is not currently supported. 

However, if your platform is supported (i.e. pxa2xx, AR91xxxx, S3C24xx &
i.MX31) then adding a codec driver is trivial (probably 1 weeks effort
for your codec). Alternatively, if only the codec is supported then you
have to add the platform code (i.e. audio DMA, I2S, etc).  

If your platform and codec are both supported then it's only a day or
two to write a machine driver to glue both together.
