So "fsl-ssi.c" was not a clue? :-)

That's probably because my driver only supports I2S and yours supports AC97. 
Please, DMA is different.  I wasn't really expecting you to be able to re-use 
my driver, but I figured you could at least re-use the macros I've defined in 
fsl-ssi.h

That shouldn't be a problem, since the statistics never show anything useful 
anyway.

These should be defined in the arch/arm header files anyway.
