I apologize for this, will be double careful in future...

I don't have SPI or I2C to read/write my codec :-(
I need to use read/write apis defined in <asm/intel_scu_ipc.h>
	int intel_scu_ipc_ioread8(u16 addr, u8 *data);
	int intel_scu_ipc_iowrite8(u16 addr, u8 data);
and these can block a little while they get/set the data.

But since that is not an issue, makes my life easy :-)
