It's not necessarily terribly complicated to enable this codec:
- we could borrow code from the existing code from the 
cht_bsw_max98090_ti machine driver which relies on the dpcm driver.
- the patches developed for Baytrail-Cr will provide support for the 
19.2MHz MCLK needed by this codec, they should land on the alsa-devel 
mailing list this afternoon or early next week.
The main issue is to find hardware and someone with bandwidth to do the 
changes.
