Obviously, platform and CPU drivers have no CODEC dependencies.

You need to implement a CODEC driver for this but there's no reason for
it to do anything except expose the capabilities of the device - there's
several in tree examples you can look at.  Remember that we still need
to know how to configure the other drivers that talk to the chip, even
if the chip itself is unconfigurable.
