For me, e2c330b9b5 is good while 907fe36a2c and next/master expose this
error message.

It does not make a difference.

I tried to turn on DEBUG in I2C driver, and did not notice any I2C
message when above error appears.

The error message only shows up with Debian wheezy and does not with
yocto rootfs.  And even when the error message shows, the audio still
functions well on Debian wheezy.  So it's just a noisy error message
for me which is only seen after your kernel patch.
