No, I meant keep the sidetone hwmod, it really is there in the hardware.

I meant only probe the sidetone in the McBSP probe so you have two
struct dev and two hwmod entries in the McBSP driver. I don't know if
this actually makes things easier or not though.

OK yeah makes sense to me.

Yes the module is really there for sidetone, and it really has hardware
registers :)

Sorry, no I did not want to drop the sidetone hwmod, I was just trying to
come up with ideas on how to make the driver changes easier. It sounds like
you already figured out the driver changes part though with two drivers.
