By the time this hits mainline the WM8753 driver should expect things to
be done that way.

BTW, unless you object I'll create a branch to carry the GTA02 audio
driver for mainline.  I intend to start working actively on it just as
soon as I've found a workflow for the system that works well for me
(for most systems I use netbooting heavily which isn't going to work so
well here).  I'll send patches here as normal, the intention is to have
something sitting ready that I can merge directly into ASoC so it won't
carry any of the underlying code required to actually be usable.  Is
that OK with you?
