I totally agree with you on this and all the comments in the patchset, 
TBH this driver was forward ported from msm-3.10 Andriod kernel, My Idea 
was to retain most of code bits from that driver but it looks its a very 
bad Idea to start with.

I will relook into the modern codec drivers and rewrite the driver to be 
inline with them.

Thanks,
