Right, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be possible to replace
that with rt5677_read_device_properties() given the DSDT I have.

I expect that exists because I was using the chromeos-3.14 tree as a
reference (which was the supported kernel on this hardware at the time),
but it looks like the unified device property API was added in 3.18 so
of course was not used there, and I did not realise that the device
property versions could be used here.

I'll try to find time to test this change over the weekend, if Tom
doesn't beat me to it!
