This is a big transition in the ASoC API which is nearing completion -
this driver is one of the last users of the CODEC struct, we've (well,
mainly Morimoto-san) been migrating things away from it to the more
general purpose component.  There's no one commit to point at really as
the two have coexisted for a while and we won't be able to finally
remove the CODEC struct until all the drivers have transitioned away.
