Sorry, let me re-phrase.  The commit:

    ASoC: rt5677: Add ACPI support

    The Chromebook Pixel 2015 uses this codec with the ACPI ID RT5677CE, but
    does not use the standard DT property names so add a new function to
    parse the codec properties from these ACPI properties.

    Also, the GPIOs are only available by index, so we need to register a
    mapping to allow machine drivers to access the GPIOs by name.

Adds all of the code which "ASoC: rt5677: Move platform code to board file"
and "ASoC: rt5677: Introduce proper table for ACPI enumeration" move
around and re-work.

Ugh, typo on my part proving your point :)  I meant _a_36afb... which is
"ASoC: rt5677: Introduce proper table for ACPI enumeration".  My gut
feeling (and I'd be happy to be told how to poke ACPI to confirm this..)
is that the ACPI table is in fact not including some information that
the code expects and that's why the original patch added an I2C ID not
an ACPI ID.
