There is AC97 support for my chip, and I have implemented the nuc900_ac97.c
,nuc900_pcm.c and machine board c file drivers.The three main
structure definitions
as following:

static struct snd_soc_dai_link nuc900evb_ac97_dai = {
	.name		= "AC97",
	.stream_name	= "AC97 HiFi",
	.cpu_dai	= &nuc900_ac97_dai,
	.codec_dai	= &ac97_dai,
};

static struct snd_soc_card nuc900evb_audio_machine = {
	.name		= "NUC900EVB_AC97",
	.dai_link	= &nuc900evb_ac97_dai,
	.num_links	= 1,
	.platform	= &nuc900_soc_platform,
};

static struct snd_soc_device nuc900evb_ac97_devdata = {
	.card		= &nuc900evb_audio_machine,
	.codec_dev	= &soc_codec_dev_ac97,
};

here, I used the file named ac97.c which is located in
linux-2.6\sound\soc\codecs.
I am sure that it can call the '\sound\pci\ac97ac97_codec.c' file and
identify the
ALC203 (like the log file shows 'nuc900 AC'97 codec is  ALC203',but sometimes
the return value by reading one AC97 register, which is not same as
the writing value to the
AC97 register, that is not my expected result, but sometimes they are same.

any suggestions?
