Yes, you're right.  I hadn't put too much thought into the Kconfig stuff
for this patch because, at the moment, I'm viewing this as a temporary
solution until ASoCv2 is merged.

Which raises another question: Liam and Mark, what is your opinion on
merging this driver?  Is it something that you would merge with the v1
API and then rework it when v2 is merged?  Or would you rather it be
kept out until v2 is ready?  I haven't even looked at the v2 API yet, so
I don't know how much rework is involved.

Cheers,
