I would suggest you to post the initial driver support as a formal
patch to this list first.

As you mentioned that playback works fine, you could start by adding
the mx23 audio driver with playback support only.

Once the initial submission is accepted, then we could look at the
recording side.

Keeping this audio driver out of tree does not really help.

Care to submit it to this list?
