Well, "I" did not write any of that existing code, I just run around
trying to keep it working on rebases and this area changed.  I referred
to other implementations in the Alsa SoC tree to try to see what was
expected, but I was unable to get it to work without doing what we do
now.  Since I don't have the luxury of dealing with just one domain
blowing chunks, that was and has been good enough.

But I noticed wm8753 gta02 implementation has always done registration
stuff in its driver init function  more commonly done in the device end
which is going to be racy, but as I say that's not my code.

If you want to change this to "do it [with] cooperation from the rest of
the kernel" please feel free to improve it and I'll be interested to see
how it should be done.
