This looks basically fine, a few comments and obviously it depends on

Hrm, I'm thinking we should generalise this for use by other systems -
at least OMAP has a similar stuff in mainline and a lot of phone vendors
who spin many devices from a platform design have broadly the same
pattern of a core reference design with per board wiring differences
that need to be represented in their code.  We'll need to work out what
to do about the board defined widgets, though.

We should also add a standard property or other mechanism for setting a
display name for the card.

Before we merge this we should refactor the WM8903 mic bias to a supply
widget, this stuff is both nasty and very Linux specific.

I'd go through a local variable or use memcpy() rather than having this
long code.

I wonder how the probe retry stuff is getting on...

I'd say "not even" for clarity here.
