Looks generally good, some fairly small nits below.

Given that we're starting to split out separate bus drivers for the I2C
and SPI CODECs (look at the recent submissions from Lars-Peter) it'd be
good to start this off with a separate bus driver for I2C even if the
SPI one is still to be done - that way the Kconfig stuff for machine
drivers is all in place and doesn't need updating.

These should really be lists though there's only one documented element
so it's purely a documentation update.

Does this interfere with the manual mute controls or is it a separate
thing?  If it plays nicely with the manual controls it's probably better
to leave it enabled since it improves performance in some benchmarks
(that's why hardware tends to have the feature).

The other option here is to just not provide a default so that the first
time it's read it goes to hardware.  It doesn't make much difference
either way though.

The driver ought to disable runtime PM, the clock and the regulators here.

Do we need 500ns or 5ms?

Should really check the return value here.

Does the device work without MCLK?
