Ok, I figured out the solution.  I need to add this to mpc8610_hpcd_probe():

+       iprop = of_get_property(codec_np, "reg", NULL);
+       if (!iprop) {
+               dev_err(&ofdev->dev, "codec node is missing 'reg' property\n");
+               goto error;
+       }
+       machine_data->dai.codec_id = *iprop;

So I have another question.  Currently, I need to do this:

	machine_data->dai.codec_dai_drv = &cs4270_dai; /* The codec_dai we want */

In other words, I still need to have a global variable in my codec
driver called "cs4270_dai" that the fabric driver has to access.  This
is a real problem because it means that my fabric driver has to be
hard-coded with the information on the codec that's attached to the
SSI.  However, I already have that information in the device tree, I
can extract all the information I need from the device tree.  If I can
get rid of the assignment of "cs4270_dai", I can make my machine
driver completely codec-independent.
