please note there are something like four different versions of the audio IP
core in Samsung SoCs.  I myself am not familiar with the detailed technical
differences.  So in any case we'll try to submit the current code in a way
that will not create conflicts or issues with code that is pending further
down the road for s5pc100. or s5pc110.

Apparently there are also features like operating the SoC codec in slave mode
as well as different clock configurations wich mainline is missing.

Jaswinder (you know him from previous mails) today stated he will look into
this.  We have just not defined yet in detail what features will be submitted
and what are the priorities.

If you (Mark) would want to work on this, pleaes coordinate with Jaswinder so
there is no duplication of work.  I believe the most current driver source is
the one in the 2.6.29-samsung branch - but that one already has the s5pc stuff,
which will have to be removed for mainline right now.
