Gabriel,

you should try to add people and lists you expect help from.

The full node looks like:
opt_audio: audio at 1a {
	compatible = "ti,tlv320aic23";
	reg = <0x1a>;
	#sound-dai-cells= <0>;
	status = "okay";
};

It doesn't help much without knowing what amixer is trying to do.

Looking at sound/soc/codecs/tlv320aic23.c:

static const struct snd_soc_dapm_route tlv320aic23_intercon[] = {
	/* Output Mixer */
	{"Output Mixer", "Line Bypass Switch", "Line Input"},
	{"Output Mixer", "Playback Switch", "DAC"},
	{"Output Mixer", "Mic Sidetone Switch", "Mic Input"},

	/* Outputs */
	{"RHPOUT", NULL, "Output Mixer"},
	{"LHPOUT", NULL, "Output Mixer"},
	{"LOUT", NULL, "Output Mixer"},
	{"ROUT", NULL, "Output Mixer"},

	/* Inputs */
	{"Line Input", "NULL", "LLINEIN"},
	{"Line Input", "NULL", "RLINEIN"},

	{"Mic Input", "NULL", "MICIN"},

	/* input mux */
	{"Capture Source", "Line", "Line Input"},
	{"Capture Source", "Mic", "Mic Input"},
	{"ADC", NULL, "Capture Source"},

};

The lines with the failing routes really look suspicious, i.e.
there is strings "NULL" where I'd expect plain NULL.

What happens if you amend the three lines and replace the "NULL"
with NULL?
