Well, I guess I can test the patches :-).

Well.. the fact that in my setup regulators are global (by mistake as
you say?) and it still picks them up without warning?

Plus, I'd expect to see some kind of "struct device" argument to
SND_SOC_DAPM_REGULATOR_SUPPLY(). I'm selecting supply name, but I'm
not selecting on which device...

Ok, so you are saying that if I fix mfd initialization, sound will
automagically switch from global regulators to device-specific
regulators and things will start working?
