FWIW, we are using RT5640 upstream driver on Intel reference designs 
that have RT5642 so if those DSP features are going to be supported some 
day I propose to have them implemented in a same driver.

sound/soc/codecs/tlv320aic3x.c comes to my mind how to implement support 
for different codec variants in the same driver.
