Well, the NULL check of dev_get_regmap() looks necessary, but I find
it was done in a wrong place in Peter's first patch, too.
It could be rather in the caller side, e.g.

	/* If the driver didn't set I/O up try regmap */
	if (!codec->control_data) {
		codec->control_data = dev_get_regmap(codec->dev, NULL);
		if (codec->control_data)
			snd_soc_codec_set_cache_io(codec, 0, 0, SND_SOC_REGMAP);
	}
