With AC97, this is still continuously tested and works fine, and the pcm part is
what makes aplay happy for playing music. This is used both in a devicetree and
non devicetree build, which makes me thing the AC97 part is fine, and the
SSP/I2S needs some love.

With your patch, a compilation of mioa701 fails with [1].

Therefore, I'll NAK this patch, as removing SND_PAX2XX_SOC config is a bad idea.

As a way forward, please submit a patch for magician only, which makes it work
again (by work I mean you can play and hear a song with aplay or equivalent).

Then hopefully Daniel can interpolate to all the SSP/I2S platforms. And maybe
Daniel can test on his platform too so that we're safe on both pxa2xx and pxa3xx
side.

Cheers.
