TLV320AIC34 (two of them) on n900 to be precise, n9 uses twl5031 and
tlv320dac33.

Yes, there is the option, but w/o documentation on the ECI protocol it
is not going to be easy. And I'm sure there were a (good) reason the
n900 does not support ECI. If it could be done in a stable way the
product would have support for it.

Yeah, that is something I have no idea what it is for. It could be that
the schema is using different pin mode for it? It might worth looking at
the TRM on which pin the gpio_178 can go out and look for the possible
modes? Most likely waste of time...
