One thing I've noticed about a lot of your drivers is that there's no
TLV information - it'd be good to provide this so applications can make
use of it.

I appreciate that this is all in the old driver but this should all be
removed, the driver should be using the register configuration provided
by the chip and allowing the user to configure things as needed for
their system at runtime. The appropriate configuration will typically
be application specific and providing them in the driver suggests to
people that they should be configuring in the kernel which creates
problems when multiple users try to merge into mainline. Generally the
chip defaults will at least be safe and they avoid arguments about who's
defaults to choose.
There are some things which the driver can reasonably configure as
there's very little reason to ever choose a different configuration -
zero cross is the classic example - but routing and volume control
aren't them.
Please supply a patch removing this configuration before the patch doing
the rename so we can fix this for 2.6.40.
