That's fine, these are just warning messages and have no actual effect
on operation.

This is outside the control of ASoC - it's generated by the core SSC
support in drivers/misc/atmel-ssc.c.  Probably you're missing code to
register the SSC device in your board file, you should be calling
add_device_ssc() somewhere in your arch/arm code and ssc_request() in
your machine file.

Yes, the reason for this being that the Atmel driver currently doesn't
make any effort to initialise the device.  At the minute that's purely a
cosmetic error.  Before it becomes an actual problem the drivers will be
updated to fill in a device.
