Oh, are you using the ac97.c codec driver?  With a normal ASoC codec
driver the AC97 codec is not visible as a separate device in the device
tree - if you could point me to your machine driver that'd be helpful.

I'll take a look at ac97.c tomorrow; there have been some problems found
with the way it registers in that timeframe so it's likely that one of
the fixes there has caused the regression.  The way it uses the generic
ALSA AC97 code means that it needs some special casing.

As a workaround I'd suggest using the generic PXA AC97 support in
sound/arm rather than an ASoC machine driver.  Switching your machine
driver to use the WM9705 codec driver should also avoid the problems.
